Osler's Razor: Haiku Friday, and the end of a long, strange week

Haiku Friday, and the end of a long, strange week

The week before finals is always bittersweet; having things done, but the sadness that comes with any ending. And the news this week was so sad and strange, from Virginia to Oregon, and in Iraq.

I did hear four great finals in Oral Advocacy today, and I have been reflecting on them for hours now. I'm amazed at some of the things our students can do.

But, there also must be Haiku. So here is mine:

The sound of loud bangs
Is too much a part of us
I long for quiet.

Now it is your turn...

Parties should settle
Arrogance, greed prevent it

Lester Bangs was odd
Hung out at CBGB
And wrote out the truth.

Finals loom heavy
I am walled in with books
And cut my own hair.

What about Imus?
I guess it wasn't so big
Words, not bullets.

Inspired by today's Razor image

Before Bill was Will
We biked from Detroit to Sag
Loved making that trip

For those who don't know it, Prof. Osler has pretty cool siblings and parents, as well as a second home in Canada.

I try to study
But someone playing music
In the library!

When I find out who
Is making all this bad noise
They will make no more

Finals make bad days
For us in PC more so
Than ever before

Awards for PC?
They invite us to attend
You won’t see me there

But when Baylor Law
Gets an award for something
Like most jobs upon

Graduation then
I’ll be there for that award
Meanwhile we linger

Ranked the lowest for
Graduates with employment
When they walk the stage
