Link here to see all categories and results, here are a few that made me laugh and laugh... category: Albuquerque No need to signal. Why should you exert yourself? I can read your mind. —Pamela Menter category: best way to gently let your neighbors know that you can hear them doing it Look, beds are on sale at Sears. Maybe you can find one that doesn't squeak. —Ann Sanabria Well, what do you know, I just found an oil can. Hey, you should keep it! —Ann Sanabria Man, am I tired. I didn't sleep much last night. Neither did you, eh? —Ann Sanabria category: best end of affair haiku You hate perfection. I hate the way your feet stink. Go back to your mom. —Lacey Bingham |

21 Sep 04 - 12:16 PM (#1277425) Subject: RE: BS: ABQ Haiku From: GUEST,SueB Didn't want to start a whole new thread, but here is a haiku written by the cat: You persecute me With your out of tune scraping Put the fiddle down! and one written by the dog: I am tortured by the dissonant jangling of your banjo playing. Get a tuner, they don't cost very much at all - You don't have to guess. and another one written by the dog: Why are you angry? You left it on the counter just for me, correct? and another one written by the cat: Do not pick me up! I do not want any love! Love me, and regret. |

09 Jul 08 - 08:44 PM (#2385275) Subject: RE: BS: ABQ Haiku From: GUEST No duh, Art Brooks is Art Brooks. The problem is he claims to know me (Ann Sanabria), but I don't know him. My memory needs a little jog. So who is Art Brooks? |

09 Jul 08 - 09:25 PM (#2385295) Subject: RE: BS: ABQ Haiku From: SharonA Ann Sanabria, there's a picture of Art on the "Member Photos & Info" page, but you have to be a Mudcat member to access that page. Membership is free, and you will no longer be in danger of having your posts deleted (by using the anonymous GUEST moniker without at least putting your name after it -- because there have been too many abuses of the "GUEST" feature by flamers). We invite you to sign up and become a Mudcatter! |

Maybe googling Art is the next step to figuring out how you two intersect in the Albuquerque community. SRS |
