Haiku Friday: Please leave a message

A few weeks ago, I was racing to the train station in Philadelphia, but just had to stop to take a picture of this business. Really? "Patty's Answering Service?" While it does exist, I'm a little baffled that anyone would still use a phone answering service.

I am intrigued, though. What if you could leave a message to anyone, dead or alive, known or unknown, even lost to you though still in this world?

Let's have that be our haiku goal today. Don't worry about how many syllables this week- just make it three short lines, with the first line of "My message to X:"

Here is mine:

My message to X:
I still think of you
When e're I do right.

Now, it is your turn...

Comments:
My message to X
Give me back that sock
You wore on your hand.
 
My message to X:
Of all the things you never said
Why not say where the keys were?
 
My message to X:
Thank you for revealing to
Me my potential.
 
This comment has been removed by the author.
 
My message to x.
Eventually,
even George Clooney
will turn in to
George Constanza.
 
My message to X:
Why didn't you
leave a note?
 
My message to X:
As much as I am reluctant to admit it,
You were mostly right.
 
My message to X:
Pen to paper; dreams in ink -
Yes, you are my muse.
 
My message to X:
After new adventures in
Hi-fi, break up. Please.

My message to X:
Don't date Yoko. Stay in the
band. Stop white album.

My message to X:
the kid sees dead people, and
you're one of them guy.

My message to X:
No Wade Phillips. Save us all
the pain and anger.
 
My Message to X:
I was too scared to ask then
But I wish I had.
 
My message to Pickles:
That catsuit is great
But might need some pearls.
 
My message to x
We spent the last fifty years
Learning to love
 
My message to X (in this case, Osler)
What have you been eating for breakfast?
Your blog has been awesome lately!

Really. I'm loving the variety: funny (Clippy videos), silly (IPLaw videos), full of energy (yesterday's debate) and meaningful ( today! we all carry around undelivered messages).

a fan
 
My message to X:
I wish you wouldn't leave
But you need to make the bacon!
 
My message to X:
All I really want
Is kindness and warmth.
 
My message to X:
You blessed me by trusting me
four wonderful years.

My explanation to Y and Z:
I remember meeting a teacher at my high school’s first football game. She was befuddled by the SLR camera around her neck. I offered to help and watched the action from the sidelines, a fun beginning to four years as a yearbook photographer. Her name was Mrs. Whicker, and she died last night.

May she rest in peace and rise in glory.
 
My message to [the icicles]:
You’ll be screaming, “I’m melting,”
over the next week.
 
My message to X:
Why is it I still
Get butterflies.
 
My message to X:
You are sort of cool, plus you
excel at physics.

My message to X:
There are few things better than
Shrimp pesto pizza

My message to X:
Only good thing 'bout auto-tune:
Build a turtle fence!
 
My message to X:
You mean far, far more to me
Than you'll ever know
 
My message to x:
when you gonna realize
it was just that the time was wrong?
 
My Message to X
Yes,I know the time was wrong
But my love was not
 
To IP law guy:
Why didn't you ask?
I've been waiting all this time.
Syrup and nutmeg galore.
 
My message to DD/X/____
I was scared, desperate
and did not believe in myself
 
My message to X:
No one need stay behind
Everyone can make the bacon!
 
My message to X:
So much left unsaid
Yet, you taught me love and joy.
 
My message to X:
Don't stop believing
And, take the midnight train...
 
My message to X:
I love to sleep on your chest
but sometime I drool.
 
My message to X:
You can't help it--you were
just drawn that way.
 
My Message to X:
It only took a fingertip
To find the right place.
