Post-Christmas Haiku Friday!
The week between Christmas and New Year has that languid air (at least for academics)-- you can sleep in a little, not quite clean up the house, mull over dinner plans. That's a perfect recipe for fine haiku!
Here are this week's topics:
1) Favorite Christmas ornaments
2) Worst Christmas tradition
3) Favorite part of Festivus
4) The gift I wish my child had not received
5) What a kid said at Christmas Eve services
6) My favorite present
7) New Year's plans
8) The death of Benazir Bhutto
9) 2008
10) Christmas-time birthdays
Here's mine:
A paper Big Fig
Made by kid, 1970,
A Christmas miracle.
Now it is your turn! Follow the handy 5 syllable/ 7 syllable/ 5 syllable format, and you are on your way!

Bhutto: Very Sad.
She was very brave, knew the risks.
Went there anyway.
Fav tradition is
Flaming of the Beef:Dim the lights;
Call the Raccoons in.
Fave Christmas food is:
pitted black olives in bowl.
Also Pecan Pie.
star made of sticks, straws
at Liggett pre-school, in year
1969.
New traditions now:
Whole Foods, Spencer, dogs and goat
Better than ever.
BEST GIFT is being
together at this crazy
rental house with goat.
Out of Occupied
France. Faux Chateau no mo, goat
named Elmo runs show.

Noise amplifier
With voice-altering effects
Given to my son
I will get revenge
On the giver of that gift
Their kids get air horns

Day after Christmas
That's my birthday. Often there's
Some other event
Like 2004:
Tsunami on that day, or
Bhutto's death, next day.
So much all at once;
Yanks us back into the world
Quick, after Christmas.

Ode to a former landlord
by Tydwbleach.
By the Way,
I must say,
Seems bad Karma has been sent:
Cuz Faux Chateau is STILL for rent.
Not to brag,
Not to Gloat,
But we are happier with the goat.
Guess Fake France is not so haute.
Not really haiku
but it will do
My kid NEVER EVER stops talking
How about you?

New Iplaw BABY's

No, not acceptable. Mamie is the name of a First Lady, Babybird is the name of a character on Sesame Street. Try harder
