I was going to wait and do this tomorrow to uphold the Wednesday tradition, but I saw Cat's comments on the Cookie Monster post and figured, What the heck.
Our kiddos started the new school year today and I thought the subject deserved some Horrorthon poetic love. Remember when you were a kid and you actually enjoyed the thought of going back to school? And then you grew up and it became really sucky? Lets not just dig up those memories - any school related shenanigans are up for the Haiku treatment. What say you group - feeling wordy?

Dropped the kids at school,
then home to a quiet house.
Sweet...time for a nap!
Worst school memory:
Came in from recess and my
wrap-around skirt dropped!
"Back To School" signs suck
Especially in July
Still makes me depressed
Trapper Keepers suck
They always fell apart fast
'Trapping' things my ass!
First day of class sucks
Unless class lets out early
With no dumb homework
Sitting in circle
Forced to introduce myself
I fucking hate that
I always hated
Making small talk with students
I really don't care
Protractor, compass
I must have those school supplies
Never used them once
No running in halls
But they're so perfect for it
Rule broken daily
Remember dittos?
Always purple, sometimes wet
Cheaper than Xerox
Mean Mr. Durfee
Called them "mimeographed sheets"
Had crazy eyebrows
Small, drab rectangles
Awful cheap paper for math
Still with bits of wood
Remember Springthorp?
Hated me for some reason
Tortured me daily
The fire alarm
It was a much-need break
From the school doldrums
I did pretty well
Had a sure-fire approach
Sat next to Octo
Cafeteria
I actually loved the food
Mom was a bad cook
Do you hear that sound?
(Birds chirp, a dogs single bark)
That's right, kids are gone
Summer has ended
but vacation's just begun
for Mom anyway
Best BTS ad
Parents shopping at Staples
"Most wonderful time..."
The first day of school
Everyone in Levi jeans
Me Toughskins, Mom sucks
Kevin Gildea
Erection in the lunch room
Was taunted to death
Chris Caraloto
The first girl in school with breasts
Stared at her a lot
Cat, I feel your pain.
Wanted Guess jeans SO badly,
Not a chance in hell.
omg, toughskins!
thanks for trauma reminder
i didn't fit in
omg, school food!
another sad reminder
mom's cooking sucks too
Now I'm the teacher
"No, you can't use the bathroom"
'Cause I know you're bored
Form a line outside
"Yes, we have to re-enter the room,"
I hate you all, too.
Warm-up, notes, homework
Pay attention! All eyes on me now!
Pop quiz tomorrow.
day one - of thee, hope
slowly crumbling GPA
each day afterward
Metal lunch boxes
My first? Welcome Back, Kotter
Why would I have that?
school was pretty meh
until i got to college
best years of my life
studied what i loved
professors, kids i adored
life on my own terms
no offense, grad school
other than personal life
not too damn jolly
We tease you a lot
But we gotta lotta snot
Welcome baaack, welcome...
I know that's not right
But the song's stuck in your head
I toy with your mind
Dammit! My head too
I just Kotterbombed myself
Horshack's ghost mocks me
Huge Back to School Sale
But it's only July 5th?
Summer's just begun!
Graduate school sucked
I hated every minute
But I met AC!
Albany, New York
A non-descript, dark hell-hole
Met Mr. AC!
Junior high was bad
Imagine Lord of the Flies
Now you understand
Dismantled Bic pen
Tiny scraps of wet paper
Spitball weaponry
Seventh grade first day
Metamorphosis begins
Lots of new boobies
I tried to fit in
Never managed to do that
Social phobia
Bullies just loved me
They preyed on the quiet ones
Hope they're pumping gas
