Haiku52:
Our thoughts on food and cooking
In seventeen beats.
Here's a way to make your holiday party more fun: Get out scrap paper and a pile of pens and ask each of your guests to write a haiku (and, if you're feeling meta, ask them to write a haiku about holiday parties!). This is the result of our exercise:
My mother's hors d'oeuvres,
always cream cheese and canned fish.
Someday I'll grow up.
are you my cousin
or a friend of my father?
either way, goodbye.
is it okay if I
just leave this party, go home,
and eat a pizza?
Why is the punch bowl
empty again? I swear some-
one just filled it up.
Drank too much again.
Everyone I know left.
Need more canapés.

parked by the cheese plate, shameless
but very happy
November: church choir reads carols
and has great potluck.
Drink all of the drinks too and
Sport festive mumu
once sewed a caftan with cuffs
reaching down to hem.
(mumu is much more sexy!)
great joy, hugs, laughter and love.
Mother served great food.
