<p>Grad school auditions
Be sure and ask for money
You are paying now.</p>
<p>EC page, you tease!
You demand we say so much
in so little space.</p>
<p>We have now mastered
using small, bite-sized phrases
to describe great works.</p>
<p>I bet geek_son could
write these better than I can…
is haiku a hook??</p>
<p>Try Haiku-Anon
For the 5-7-5 obsessed
Step one Admit it</p>
<p>Have you gone to bed?
Wake up my Eastern playmates
I write these now all alone</p>
<p>Sometimes “chance me” threads
contain disinformation –
some folks like to lie.</p>
<p>Bright, well-rounded kid,
resist intimidation –
go on and apply!</p>
<p>OK, I’ll admit,
I need a Haiku Power.
How embarrassing.</p>
<p>hist’rymom, good night…
geek_son’s stomach is rumbling…
late lunch, late dinner.</p>
<p>You must feed him well
Keep his large brain a growin
His future is oh so bright</p>
<p>Oh and LOL about the Haiku Power :D</p>
<p>This year’s grocery bill
will very nearly cover
next year’s tuition!</p>
<p>(Thank you for sharing the sickness tonight! ;))</p>
<p>How to spend the night?
“Office” reruns, or CC?
Wild Night is calling</p>
<p>My B+ kiddo
He’s smart, funny and kind
Take him, take him, please!</p>
<p>Parent Brag Sheet’s here
So many questions there
Whatever shall I say?</p>
<p>Origami kid
Read every Star Wars book
Makes great apple pie.</p>
<p>Half an hour to cook,
and five minutes to inhale.
Dinner is over.</p>
<p>Hooray, more haikus!
I can stall kitchen cleaning
a little longer. :)</p>
<p>While we write Haiku
S and D’s party at school
It’s Saturday night</p>
<p>Harvey Mudd College,
I send you a brilliant gem.
Please, polish him well.</p>
<p>So many facets,
already he shines so bright.
But more waits in rough.</p>
<p>I know you’ll agree,
once you’ve seen how he sparkles,
you’re blessed to have him.</p>
<p>(I write this without
the merest hint of bias
or motherly pride. ;))</p>
<p>Oh… and you just might
want to add a little bit
to your food budget. :p</p>
<p>geek_son’s home tonight.
The girl he might like to date
isn’t allowed to.</p>
<p>geek son be patient
the good ones are worth the wait
mothers do know best
:)</p>
<p>Limited options…
college will be better grounds
than his small high school. ;)</p>
<p>Hey! My D loves Scripps
and the lovely boys at Mudd
may share class with her</p>
<p>Wouldn’t it be cool
If the Mudd and Scripps people
Saw kids like we do?</p>
<p>Oh Scripps adcom folk
Please see she will be great there
Help her share her voice</p>
<p>Many Mudders say
Mudd’s greatest attraction lies
one hundred feet south! :)</p>
<p>We will send wishes
for your Scripps-loving daughter
to be admitted.</p>
<p>geek_son’s fate is sealed –
he’s sent in his deposit
Early Decision.</p>
<p>CC’s so quiet…
I turn off my computer.
See you tomorrow!</p>
