Lie down with the pigs,
Wake up smelling like roses?
Lie down with the nukes...

In reply to Can I just say that the

The masthead beckons
Us mere haiku acolytes -
Should we be beacons?

But don't just shout "Gawd!",
as comes out a trifle odd,
a bit overwrought.

Heidi and her goats,
Haiku yodel-ay-ee-hoo,
hike the mountain path.

Roundly applauded -
with however you called it,
must have spelled relief.

Rambunctious laughter
Leaves one smitten with rapture,
Feels draining after.

Dillied and dallied,

Japanese bombing
Cut short lovers' honeymoon -
Most inauspicious

American bombing
Cut short war in Pacific
Was it terrific?

My parents were married Nov. 20, 1941 which was Thanksgiving day. That year it was the 3rd Thursday of November. FDR signed a bill that made Thanksgiving Day the 4th Thursday of November to kick off the Christmas shopping season starting in 1942.

My dad at the time was in the Army Reserves and was called into active duty after Pearl Harbor. They had less then 3 weeks before he left. That was 74 years ago.

Thanks for reminding me.

HA!! Good one, Missy!!
