Haiku Friday: Pig Made of Confederate Money
Today we continue our series of haikus inspired by the curiosities found at Baylor's Mayborn Museum, joined by our good friend, Dr. Blaine McCormick. I woke up yesterday just in time to hear one of Blaine's pieces on Benjamin Franklin on our local public radio station, KWBU. For what it is worth, I will be spending this Monday 6-9 am at KWBU, helping them on-air with the pledge drive.
This week's curiosity is a pig made out of confederate money.
Here is Professor McCormick's haiku:
It's tragic to have
Two grand in your piggy bank
That you can't withdraw
And mine:
Hey, Confederates--
What was your money made of?
Gooey pinkish ick?
Now it is your turn!
