Sick Kid Haiku

September 30th, 2007 by Atomictumor

Clean car and sick kid
Post soccer fever for G
Pigpen passed it down

An imported strain
From Cemestos Garden stock
Only lasts a day

Last week, on Wednesday
When Pigpen had the fever
MastaG said prayer

“Please make Pigpen well,
And please let me get it too,
So I can miss school”

So he has it now
But he’ll be fine by Monday
I’ll try not to laugh

    The gut wrenching cramps,
    lots of runs to the bathroom,
    got a hold of me.

  2. Bullet Says:

    God answers prayers…just maybe not the way you want him to. Tell G I said, “ahem…Ha-ha!”

    On October’s eve
    drinking coffee on the deck
    list’ning to disco.

    Funky form, disco
    hustle and funky chicken
    bright lights, silver ball.

    Embrace the bass line.
    slinky dresses and pant suits
    should make a come back.

  4. Netmom Says:

    I hear the leaves fall
    on the deck I freshly swept
    like big confetti

    Hope G feels better
    and Pigpen find some Dad time
    in his autumn break

    Its OK Sumgirl,
    He was pretty broken up
    But got Burger King

    Thats his dinner choice
    So I went to pick it up
    But they’re out of toys

    Just ain’t Pigpen’s day

    McDonalds Drive Thru
    The Cashier girl is Pregnant
    A new one each week

    Wife blames gas on me
    I blame gas on our large dog
    Wife’s gas is the worst

    Hot again today
    Missing the cooler weather
    Hope it comes back soon

    Poor Pigpen and G
    Bad end of week for them
    Maybe Mon better

    Wanted you to know
    Been reading everything
    And see promise/hope

    Wish I had more time
    To be more supportive-ish
    You are doing great

    Thinking of BJ
    Talking with G and Pigpen
    Looking at pictures

    I still love her so
    But I don’t feel any pain
    The kids laugh and play

    Its hard to believe
    That they suffered that huge loss
    But they did, and well

    No behavior woes
    No emotional issues
    As they always were

    We’ve all got problems
    But I truly know they’re good
    Have a ‘normal’ life

    Love is nifty keen
    Its back in the neighborhood
    Doesn’t tarnish past

    Octobers coming
    Fall will bring back memories
    But man, life goes on.

  11. Vixen Says:

    True love feels no pain
    In the never ending time
    The long run of time

    I believe its true
    I know, my opinion
    And I know it hurt

    Love is a circle
    That can repeat itself
    Just differently

  12. Jane Says:

    Love lays foundation
    for strength in the face of loss
    That love will live on

    In many shapes/forms
    Never to be forgotten
    Always giving strength

    speaking of bad gas
    I smell like musty llama
    so my daughter says

    I only wonder
    how she could possibly know
    what that does smell like?
