...a haiku about my tv shows:
Juliet, then George
lives hangin in the balance
happy it's not real
a haiku about my week:
Boys read to me now
I sit and listen with pride
happy it is real
Quick note: Apparently, I have been saying the word "poem" wrong my whole life! I already told you Rhett's embarressment about it. I finally looked it up and even asked my husband and friend how to say it. Rhett is totally right. It is po-m, not poi m. Why has no one ever said anything before? I know I don't go around saying the word very often, but in 31 years no one has ever stopped and said, "What did you say?" I am not upset, just interested. Rhett is happy to know that I am practicing the correct way to say it. I can almost do it without it sounding like the word pom. Is this not the weirdest thing?
Dear Mumbles,
ReplyDeleteHow can you possibly say no one has ever not understood what you are saying? Ha! Actually, poem might be one of the few words I can remember you trying to fully enunciate, which is maybe why Rhett picked up on it.
I bet a lot of airport p.a. announcers say poi m also.
Love you anyway,
Dad
very funny dad. very funny.
ReplyDeleteI learned not to say "poim" in my first English class at Trinity. I think it's definitely a Texas thing, though.
ReplyDeleteMumbles. Ha!
