Fourth Challenge Results (It could last all week)
September 8, 2008
Another excellent haiku week! Let’s get right to the Pass the tater tots entries.
There were a some opinions on cooking and serving suggestions:
From Lesa:
Pass the tater tots
Really deep fry them to hell
‘Cause baked is fake, yo.
[Props on the “yo”. Word.]
and
Pass the tater tots
And serve them with tartar sauce
Nerds like them that way.
From Michelle:
Pass the tater tots
slathered in gravy; the cat
licks her white whiskers.
From Q:
Pass the tater tots:
Freezer burn frosts the edges.
Hot potato cold.
From me:
Pass the tater tots
and hot fudge, now! PMS
is no joke, asshole.
And from Kevin:
Pass the tater tots.
The children refuse to eat
The brussel sprouts.
Kevin also made a political statement:
Pass the tater tots.
Sarah Palin is coming.
There is no time left.
and gave us a history lesson:
Pass the tater tots.
Napoleon Dynomite
Revived this old dish.
Wes went automotive:
Pass the tater tots.
They fit in the fuel hole fine.
My car runs funny.
All were wonderful, but I had to go with Deborah’s haiku, which made me laugh out loud:
Pass the tater, tots!
If we cut it up real small,
It could last all week.
Our new first line is It could last all week; I can’t wait to see what you all do with that. I will be back next Monday with Deborah’s pick.
Yours,
Joanna

“It could last all week,”
licking my sweat, he did moan.
I woke up alone.

It could last all week
if I didn’t go to work.
Damn petrol habit.

It could last all week.
And it did. Then the next week,
We all had the runs.

It could last all week,
Causing embarrassment to
His teenage daughter.

It could last all week
or disappear tomorrow.
Life is odd that way.

It could last all week!
It won’t though…It never does.
Shouldn’t I know that?

“It could last all week;
That’d be the worst of it.”
Or so she believed.
