I promise this is the last time . . .

Yeah, I know how dorky and annoying these linked haiku are probably getting, so I promise this is it. We'll move on to limericks. Anyway, it's mostly just a way to see how everyone's doing and catch up on how Thanksgiving went for alla yuz. Yes, I went to Jersey; yes, I got my accent back and talked really loud and really fast. That's the influence of the native linguistic sphere, as I like to call it.

Whatevah, here goes:

Thanksgiving Haiku

When we all say grace
Aunt Grace always choking up
That's how real love is

Family so crazy!
Yet I wouldn't trade them in for
All the gold on earth

Pre Thanksgiving Haiku

Where I'm gonna go
They have guys who pump your gas
That's my Jersey Pride

No distinction, signs
have town names on both sides there,
entering, leaving

the best thing i think
is to have someone else cook
the turkey for you

Home for Thanksgiving
Time with my weird relatives
I don't like the turkey.

New York Holiday
Will be better than last years,
Thankful for Nicky

Pre Thanksgiving Haiku, Anyone?

I know it's cheesy, but I don't care.

Pre Thanksgiving Haiku

Where I'm gonna go
They have guys who pump your gas
That's my Jersey Pride

No distinction,signs
have town names on both sides there,
entering, leaving

We're Brilliant

Winter Haiku

Scrape, brush, shovel,nouns
made verbs for winter again
dare I say blanket?

sun low through bare trees
crows fly in lines and clusters
late november air

all those leaves i did
not rake and hail the size of
astronaut ice cream

forty degrees here
so there is no snow in sight
should start working now

No Snow on the ground
No bitter chill in the air
This, my new Winter

no winter here yet
balmy, delicious reprieve
indian summer

Winter Haiku

C'mon let's try it. I want three lines from each of you, and I mean it! Tomorrow I'll put it all together. What the heck else do you have to do, huh? Remember, it doesn't have to be good.

Five syllables
Seven syllables
Five syllables
I'll start

Winter Haiku

Scrape, brush, shovel,nouns
made verbs for winter again
dare I say blanket?

I Want It!

Let's assume I was brave enough to get a tattoo. Let's assume the words "inserting" and "under the skin" were not part of the process. What and where should my tattoo be? And while you're at it, why do you think I should get that particular tattoo in that particular location?

Here Are

five things I've come close to doing but have not done:

1) eating a Tim Horton's doughnut
2) driving a big rig (unless backing one up counts)
3) chopping off a finger (just the tip)
4) becoming a volunteer fire fighter
5) eating pizza in Utah

How about you?
