Miss Nan just gave us an assignment. I’m getting ready to blow it off, Preparing for corner confinement The rest of the class will scoff. I looked for something funny Filed under H for humor. Couldn’t find it for love or money. This “F” ain’t just a rumor. I’ve been studying poetic forms… I’ve forgotten how to grin. I’d moved outside my norms. And now to smile is a sin. I’ve got to rethink my thinking. Been trying to get it down. Now my thinking is sinking. My brow has a permanent frown. To get a semblance of a smile You’ll have to stand me on my head And leave me for a good long while For the frown to smile instead. Shenachie 6 May 2002 |

You flunk with such grace Bridget, not to mention the smile it left upon my face.  |

So that's why I have this everlasting grin on my face! I stand on my head too often! Yeek, I hope my brothers won't find out. I might be in a lot of trouble! Enjoyed your poem and humour Miss Bridget! |

Thanks, everyone for commenting. It's a relief not to be shunned for flunking. I think that I might have done better if I had looked under "F" for funny instead of "H" for humor. Enough of what I did wrong. Can't stand on my head any longer, but thanks to all of you for turning my smile upright. Shenachie |

Well, wherever you looked, you sure found it a lot quicker than I did. This will surely get better than an F but Nan already said you don't get her apples. Pete |
