Yoga Thigh-ku

even if I weren't
too cynical for yoga
I'm too fat to bend

Thigh-ku or Guy-ku?

metamorphosis
from iron man to dough boy
competition fierce

Thigh-ku

Ode to summer shorts:
hemlines ride up in spite of
laws of gravity

--Ann

Thigh-ku

Love my funnel legs!
Oh to hide them under a skirt
or flaunt them regardless

--Ann

Thigh-ku

be me for one day
you may try my Walmart thighs
sorry, no returns

Limerick

With remorse, said a nun down in Flannery,
To a well preserved man at the tannery,
"I've taken my vow,
So I can't use it now -
Let's pickle it down at the cannery!"

(Alternate version)

Said a practical novice named Flannery,
To an amorous man at the cannery,
"I'll soon take my vow,
So I can't use it now,
But let's have it preserved at the tannery!"

--Shawna, Greg and Marla

Thursdays are for toilet paper

The following Haiku were written during the period of time that my 16 year old daughter was dating a boy who worked at the grocery store.


Stealthily mother
Creeps out from the hygiene aisle
On boyfriend's day off

What if he suspects
From products that we purchase
That we are mortal?

Why do we have that?
It's a decorative toilet
Isn't it novel?

Nothing happens here
That would need air freshener
To make it better

We do not excrete
The toilet paper you see
Is there for our guests

Inside our bowels
Where you make stinky, we make
Ice cream with sprinkles
