<p>ellemenope,
I still have a six-year-old:
Ilingualbay!</p>
<p>(somehow that came out as five syllables, in Pig Latin)</p>
<p>Mathmom is your son
The renaissance man he seems?
Good at Jeopardy?</p>
<p>Harriet methinks
breaking up sobsob with whah
improves the rhythm</p>

I’ve misread your username
thought it “Ellen Mope”</p>
<p>Irony exists
“Reading Comprehension” is
A class which I teach ;)</p>
<p>Re Jeopardy and S2:</p>
<p>Useful knowledge? Ha!
He’s an expert on pie,
Star Wars, and Origami</p>
<p>Well that was unfair
He’s a Bright Well Rounded Kid
Hates Latin, English</p>
<p>Guess it’s a good thing
that he forgot his sneakers –
it’s really cold out.</p>
<p>Big storm blowing in,
weight lifting class outside – brrr!
Took a sweatshirt too.</p>
<p>mathmom, that sounds like
a perfect combination
of interesting skills!</p>
<p>He could make a pie
in the shape of an X-Wing
with folded napkins…</p>
<p>Send it to adcoms –
if they’re not duly impressed,
something’s wrong with them!</p>
<p>LOL geek_mom
fold millennium falcon
to decorate crust</p>
<p>Yes! I see it now!
With maraschino cherries
carved like the Death Star!</p>
<p>I see a pie crust:
Golden Tatooine sands, with
origami droids.</p>
<p>Teacher called today
“Kid so smart and so engaged
Why late assignments?”</p>
<p>I don’t really know.
How much should I be fixing?
How much can she fix?</p>
<p>Some children take time
I guess, just to find their way
And get organized.</p>
<p>Do you remember
Reading books like “Goodnight Moon”?
They grow up too soon.</p>
<p>Do you remember
Telling them to pick up socks?
When will they grow up?</p>
<p>Saying “pick up socks?”
Oh yeah, sure I remember.
Happened last Friday.</p>
<p>(just kidding, geek_son –
I know you did your laundry –
credit where it’s due. ;))</p>
<p>Trail of socks, always.
In your case, Mrs. Weasley,
can’t Ron use his wand? :D</p>
<p>HMW:</p>
<p>Ron’s wand was broken
Once–dang he missed getting the
Hang of cleaning socks!</p>
<p>Some kids! They can help
Defeat evil Voldemort
But can’t pick up socks.</p>
<p>Remember to check
Again I say your midyear report
The schools must have it</p>
<p>No acknowledgement
He no doubt thinks it’s all done
Senior year’s happening</p>
<p>Thank goodness his grades
Have left no room for complaint
So inform the schools!</p>
<p>Errands to care for
exercises ignored for this
Haiku with all you</p>
<p>Heard you, oregon.
Haiku’d my brains out last night…
kitchen’s still a mess!</p>
<p>To all of you, thanks
for this Haiku interlude!
I enjoy reading!</p>
<p>Cold, rainy Monday.
I spent it in the kitchen –
my day off from work.</p>
<p>Cleaning and cooking,
meatloaf, scalloped potatoes,
just right for today.</p>
<p>Not shy at the stove,
I made up the recipes
as I went along.</p>
<p>It smells delicious!
(If I may say so myself :))
Tasty masterpiece.</p>
<p>Add some vegetables,
broccoli, roast asparagus,
piece de resistance.</p>
<p>When he’s wolfed it down,
geek_son will tell me, “Thanks, Mom –
Dinner didn’t suck!”</p>
<p>(with apologies to the authors of Zits comics. ;))</p>
