<p>this is fun to read
you are my support mainly
wish we could all meet</p>

<p>He would make an “A”
If this class was called “Texting”
Instead of “Brit Lit”</p>

<p>Spends time on Facebook
Instead of proofing essay
“Hey – quit nagging mom!”</p>

<p>rt I am not
syllables add up–too much!
will I find my voice?</p>

<p>shamrock mystery
plays upon her heart and soul
semester abroad</p>

<p>Oh geek-mom how cool!
So glad Mudders see his worth!
How nice to be sure</p>

<p>DD did like Mudd
But math scores were much too low
Scripps does hold her heart</p>

<p>Hope that it will work
Positive energy does
Your support is great</p>

<p>Do you even know
last night as I tried to sleep
Haiku filled my brain</p>

<p>the Emrald Isle calls
but for whom dear baseball mom
Hope the news is great</p>

<p>So many swell schools
in Oregon 101
We indeed may meet</p>

<p>Grinding out essays
with the passion of a clam
rt I hear you</p>

<p>Thanks, historymom.
It really was a relief
to know so early.</p>

<p>He’s so excited,
but now he must apply for
merit scholarships.</p>

<p>Tuition’s crazy,
even with Mudd merit aid,
but it’s his dream school.</p>

<p>Hates writing essays.
I have to keep pointing out
the pay rate per word!</p>

<p>A thousand bucks here,
and maybe five hundred there –
hey, it all adds up!</p>

<p>hmom–D is there!
ancient ruins, rain, and song
speak to her, she hears!</p>

<p>On application essays:</p>

<p>Girls are good at this.
Boys can’t write about themselves.
Go [bleepin’] figure!</p>

<p>Hubby gets a call
D wants to chat about boys!
when did the sky fall???</p>

<p>who are we to say
what will be a hook or not.
live and love your life!</p>

<p>baseballmom:</p>

<p>D is just back from
awesome Scotland semester.
Celts are such great hosts.</p>

<p>Son wears dirty clothes.
Laundry service goes unused.
Mom, you can wash them!</p>

<p>one more year at school-
in my heart you are still six.

<p>Harriet:</p>

<p>Now we are too poor.
stateside-bound, we wait for calls
hope she’ll share her tales.</p>

<p>Irish boys are rude
D says, alcohol they push
try to get girls drunk!</p>

<p>D likes the old folks
gathering in pubs to sing
Love Americans!</p>

<p>I’m a bad poet
But you are all so clever!
I can’t stop reading!!!</p>

<p>you sleep all morning
58 oldest at spinning
no fair my heart pounds</p>

<p>History mom:</p>

<p>S has decided
WU acceptance day yes
Will I see you there?</p>

from far across the ocean.
You have to love Skype!</p>
