Another NBN Thursday begins…

…with snow.

Apparently, Mother Nature didn’t get the “It’s Spring” memo.

posted a haiku about the snow. After reading it, I thought of this:

Mother Nature looked
Upon the land and she smiled
Silently, snow fell.

I figured that it was better than getting all bent out of shape about the fact that it was snowing. Again. Even though it’s Spring.

Embracing the technology of the day, I sent my father a text message rather than call him with the news. His response: “….only light rain here! ENJOY… and do not send ANY snow this way!” I love my dad. He cracks me up.

  • I read this article and had the following pop into my head:

    There was a cop from Naugatuck
    Using Workers’ Comp to “earn” a buck
    Video’ed by the news
    Running in high-heeled shoes
    He was busted for fraud – what bad luck.

  • I just mentioned to SaraRules the haiku above. When I copy/pasted it to her, she commented: “You have talents I was completely unaware of.” I asked if she remembered the USAToday shirt I have; she did. I told her that I won that for a haiku. She asked if I still had the haiku; I didn’t… but I had the power of the Interwebs at my fingertips. It turns out that USAToday has archived some of the entries from their “Daily Haiku” contests. I found my entry:

    Haiku for Jan. 23: “Winner”
    What urges us on?
    Fame, pride, glory and honor.
    The drive to succeed.

Namaste.
