Day 210 - Didn't I Just Say That?

May 3, 2011
A kid came up to me this morning and said she was supposed to write a poem, but couldn't come up with one.  Trying to help the youth of America skate by with the bare minimum, I suggested that she just write the easiest kind of poem, a haiku.

She handed me this note an hour later saying, 
"Hey.  You're appreciated."
The poem might be more touching if it didn't look like a ransom note.

Kid, I don't feel appreciated when you tell me you forgot about me. 

Let me try a Haiku:

"Poem lacks effort.
You need to try much harder.
Next time?  Try Starbucks."
