Our Year in Haiku, for you
*
Doug ~ fine dad, grandpa,
Best father-in-law and friend,
Will be missed dearly.
*
Paige showed running spark,
Earning multiple ribbons
In her track events.
*
Mason joined stage band,
Jazzing up his trombone beats.
Next stop, New Orleans?
*
Disneyland again?
Oh yes, we are obsessive.
Well, Stephanie is.
*
Tumalo State Park,
Where chipmunks stalk the campers
But aren’t too vicious.
*
Cape Disappointment –
Lewis and Clark tried to warn;
We camped anyway.
*
Weekend in Vegas?
Friends, dancing, Crazy Horse show?
Can’t talk about it.
*
The 12-year old boy
Is involved in Drama Club.
A natural choice.
*
The girl chose strings class,
Picking up the viola
To marvel us all.
*
Gone: Mazda sedan
Purchased: rollercoaster-car
(Stu’s Mini Cooper)
*
Beautiful classroom
In a brand-new green building;
Blissful teacher dreams.
*
Kids beg for a dog,
Parents want live-in masseuse,
Yet all still feel blessed.
*
~ Wishing you a merry 2011 ~
