nothing much, but procrastination
Shaks found an awesome book the other day - which has 100 great works of literature written in haiku (by David M Bader)
Vladimir Nabokov - Lolita
Lecherous linguist –
he lays low and is laid low
after laying Lo.
(this one we dedicate to the cute, but slightly older man who frequents our book store ... he he he)
Geoffrey Chaucer - The Canterbury Tales
Pilgrimmes on spryng braecke –
roadde trippe! Whoe farrtted? Yiuw didde.
Noe, naught meae. Yaes, yiuw.
and this one reminds me of that lovely 3 hour english 2 exam i wrote, translating Chaucer into 'english'... at the time i wanted to hit myself over the head with a sledge hammer.
my meeting with my supervisor was a disaster. but i think i'm fixing it...hold thumbs again!

I like the Chaucer one! Goof luck with the supervisor. Just remember he's getting paid to supervise you, so technically HE works for YOU! (please never tell my supervisor I said that!)
Well done Helen...once again you have demostrated your truely amazing skill with the English language.
I really shouldn't be ripping you off about this because I can't spell to save my life at all!
