Haiku Friday: Fictional characters you once might have had a crush on
Yesterday was a long one. I hope the interview on CNN came out ok-- I haven't seen it, and it is hard to tell from the inside. At any rate, I think it was probably better than the Toobin/Osler debacle from last time...
I know that many razorites, like me, were (or are) early and avid readers. When you were in elementary and middle school, a book was your constant companion. You found everything in there-- including your first crush.
For me, it was Becky Thatcher. I can't remember why, exactly, but the fact that she was smart, confident, and intriguing sure did not hurt.
So, let's haiku about that this week-- a fictional character you have had a crush on. It doesn't need to be a childhood crush, either. If you currently swoon whenever someone mentions Chewbacca, I won't judge. Just haiku it!
Here is mine:
That Becky Thatcher--
She sits on the porch and reads;
I walk by and swoon.
Now it is your turn-- just make it 5 syllables in the first line, 7 in the second, and 5 in the third. There is a prize this week: The winner will be profiled in this space on Monday. Go!

Laurie, the boy next
door to the March family.
Sweet, but distracted.
Cute and smart: Doogie
Howser, M.D. And his real
name is Neil, also!

How could I not love
Rupert Piper, as Megan,
the valuable girl?

Off topic, but you know what is kind of funny? Good clown names are never the same as good band names, and vice versa. For example:
Good clown names/bad band names:
Sparkles
Mr. Merry Mittens
Clumsy
M & M
Sugar Plum
Miss Zesty Bessy
Howard
Tickles
Good band names/terrible names for a clown
Gnarls Barkley
Luscious Jackson
Prong
Massive Attack
Rancid
Scissor Sisters
Snoop Dogg
Seriously, be careful to choose from the first category and not the second when booking entertainment for a kid's birthday party. Believe me, I know. Ted Nugent does NOT twist balloons into animals, no matter how much you pay him. Jerk.

Eat a sausage roll.

Kiss...dishevelled sheets.

He can't do love for long.Still,
Heart,mind,soul--blaze true.

Hate to say it but
Mr. Rogers was my first
crush. How sad is that?
Today: Michael Scott, God's
gift to Paper, Mifflin style.
That's what she said.
Very few shows make me laugh harder than THE OFFICE. Parks and Recreation a close second.

For me, a mounty.
Canadian? But of course.
Sensitive, yet strong.
Dashing figure and
Gorgeous red coat. Husband of
Mrs. Mike. My dream.

Dr. Kildare, I
thought he was the most handsome
of all TV docs.
Young and serious,
with a smile that made me melt--
he was my hero.
But not only me--
My sister loved him also,
and watched him with me.

IPLaw - it is Wilma Flintsone and Betty Rubble.
My Haiku this week - sorry it is late. It should be noted that in 6th grade I played the role of Becky Thatcher in the school play. It was a lack luster performance but I still remember my lines.
Oh Tom, Tom Sawyer...
I ran from the stage in tears
He will never change
