Today I will be off at Hamline Law School, speaking at
this symposium.
I'll be getting there at breakfast-time. At Hamline. Which means-- knowing me-- that I will be thinking about ham. (Yes, I have certain similarities to Winnie-the-Pooh).
So, I might as well just go ahead and haiku about ham, right?
Out of the oven
I wait like a hungry feline
For that first sweet piece.
Now it is your turn! Just make it roughly 5 syllables/7 syllables/5 syllables and you will have earned the chance to get your bio here on Monday!

To tolerate country ham
Now I miss it. Sad.
The old ladies said
poppy seed dressing on ham
biscuits was a sin,
Only something a
damn Yankee would serve. I am
guilty as charged. Yum.
Walking in the dorm
Cafeteria, I picked
out ham casserole.
Embarrassed by my
choice, I said in mock hick tones,
"I got me some HAM."
I thought I said it
to my friend, but I spoke to a
complete stranger. Oops.

ReplyDeleteStill, like a football team down by 28 in the fourth quarter, I must soldier on:
Green eggs and ham? Damn!
I will eat them from a can.
(Psst. Please hold the eggs.)
