The poetry thread has barely been used
I guess everybody has not been a "mused"

when baseball gets closer I hope there'll be verses
i'll settle for limericks, haiku, and curses

be sure that you mention a Tiger or three
and a World Series title would fill us with glee

but now there is nary a poet in sight
so I say to you all, have a Tigerful night

So t-bob mentioned the poem I posted "over there" and I thought I'd post it again here, just because. Tis about my grandpa and I:

In the same room,
A hundred miles apart,
Drawn together only,
By the same passion of the park.
Two decks up,
Or right next to the field,
You were a different man,
Than had ever been revealed.
Now I miss you most dearly,
About once a year,
When that time at the park,
Comes back to me, so clear.
I was young, you were old,
But we were the same,
Tied in together,
By the love of the game.

School's been a bitch
My boss has been, too
I've been too stinking busy
to write even one Haiku.

As warm weather gets closer
and the school semester ends
I hope to find more time in my life
to make my ammends.

I hope this contribution
is the start of a trend
and I hope I find more time
so my negligence will end.

I also want to do one on Inge's pillow injury but don't know what song to use. The reason I use songs is because I'm not creative enough to structure these things so I steal from the songs. Maybe I can use Little Anthony's "Tear's on my Pillow?" :shrug:

To the tune of the Beatles "I Should Have Know Better"... whistle

I should have known better than to move a pillow
That I would end up injured and embarrassed too.
And I do, hey, hey, hey, and I do.
Whoa, whoa, I never realized they can move dangerously
This could only happen to me;
Can't you see, can't you see?

That when I sleep in my bedroom, oh,
That I can get injured like a loon, hoo, hoo, hoo, hoo, oh,
And when I say my 3-year old is there too,
You're gonna laugh at that one too.

So, I should have realized a lot of things before
If pillows are evil things than don’t give me anymore
Don’t give anymore, hey hey hey, don’t give anymore
Whoa, whoa, I never realized they can move dangerously
This could only happen to me
Can't you see, can't you see?

That when I sleep in my bedroom, oh
That I can get injured like a loon, oh
And when I ask you to forgive
You're gonna make me relive this thing too,
Injured by a pillow
Stupid thing to do…
