Haiku Friday: College Weirdness


So, is there church on Sunday, or not????

Anyways, Woody sent me a list of America's most interesting colleges, which was interesting but seemed a little arbitrary (it appears to be linked to a catalogue of "hipster" area codes, for one thing).  Mostly, and I like this, "interesting" meant "has the potential for weirdness."  

College is kind of weird, at least sometimes.  Let's haiku about that-- your own experiences, or someone else's.  I'll go first:

What?!???!!!  No Reed College?
Stoners AND a student-run

Now it is your turn!  Make if fun, and throw in 5 syllables in the first line, 7 in the second, and 5 in the third...




Comments:
Sparkling wine and smokes
We solved the world's problems
On that balcony.

Little did we know
We knew nothing about life
Then, those lessons came.

Still, it was precious
Fresh minds, new ideas, real hope
Oh, to be that girl.
MMM

 
Hail Minnesota
My noble alma mater
Very intresting
 
Bob Jones? Liberty?
Regent? and Patrick Henry?
Quite "Interesting."
 
Colgate Mafia
Ruling the world in maroon
Fueled by Gennie Cream

 
Women run the world
Milk and cookies every night
MoHos be the change
 
Refrigerator,
Refrigerator, yeah, right,
Refrigerator.

Blooming corpse flower,
Gustavus Adolphus College,
Smells like your dead socks.

"Axe 'em," Lumberjacks!
Bears want to "Sic 'em!" What's with
all the calls to kill?
 
The cheapest vodka
A fake ID could buy, mixed
With Gatorade. Yum?
 
I can't stop laughing over the Medievalist's haiku!
 
She fully clothed; they
NAKED,smoking weed,some male
Stamens pointed skyward.

Year later,when he
Asked her to spend the night,she
Left evening gown on.

He had a girlfriend
Then.She felt it unsisterly.
No sleep,wanting him.

Weird.Forty years hence,
I shout: TAKE IT OFF,SISTER!
TAKE IT ALL OFF...NOW!!!




 
Sally graced campus
Path: I shouted as swain bold,
You are my sweet love!
 
Listen Osler--Geoffrey sucks!

Yeah--You shouted all right...
Bare butt out upstairs window.
Moon means romance...Jerk!
 
Geoffrey, you have my deepest admiration... and sympathy.

IPLG, I lived in Greenville SC for a couple years and had to make deliveries to Bob Jones U. A place beyond weirdness.

Now a haiku to sum up my (first) college experience...

Yet I crossed the stage
To receive my diploma
Thinking, "I know zilch"









 
June early they crossed
The Quad attired in long low cut
Frocks,climbing boots,roses

In their hair.Jerry
Katz, ,Artist and Cynic,saw
Them,and declared,that:

They looked like fine French
Courtesans strolling in the
Morning.Mountain boots?
 
When Sydney from Hilo
Joined S.D.S., thought it was
A sorority.

Demonstration came,
Running from cops,fell,skinned knee--
Revolution Wound!
 
Freshman year, East Quad
The Stone Rangers are streaking
Co-eds are giddy
 
Swirled hazel eyes like
cat looked like Vivian Lee
Hair midnight curls long

Always had a boy on
Each arm dueling bracelets.
We so damn jealous.

Once I rode skirted
With him on his Norton bike.
To see Mick take off

His belt and show that
Piano who was boss. SHE
Gave us magic brownies.

Stoned seeing Stones. My!
Strawberries,sour cream ,brown sugar.
She could share,turns out.
 
Turtles. Wisconsin.
Indian burial mounds.
Hippies. Everywhere.
