Tagged! Again!! Wheee!!!

BiV tagged me. Yea! I love feeling like I belong. Unfortunately, this tag does not so readily adapt itself to me. The last one filled me with thoughts - in fact, I still look at the 5th sentence of every book I read on the 123rd page but have yet to find a quote that I love. The new tag ( notice how this time I'm directly quoting from the tagger's blog?):

The "This is Just to Say" Meme takes its inspiration from Kacy's post at Light Refreshments Served blog. Read it! She has written some hysterical spoofs of the William Carlos Williams poem, This is Just to Say. Do you remember it from high school?

This is Just to Say
I have eaten the plums
that were in the icebox
and which
you were probably saving
for breakfast
Forgive me
They were delicious
so sweet
and so cold

Am I the only one who doesn't remember this from high school? We never read this guy. Sylvia Plath sure but why should we read anything fun? So I've been thinking, what can I just say that doesn't reiterate the ones I read and thereby tainted my whole thought process. (Although I loved BiV's - mwahahaha - and you really should check out Kacy's - too, too funny.)

So, hmmmm....

This is Just to Say
That I'm totally going to book club
even though the kids are still awake
and being rebellious
and whiny
and you have to get them bathed,
brushed and watered,
and into bed,
while I pretend to chatter about books,
but really share funny incidents,
eat pie and hang out with friends.
So. Fun.


Did I do that right? Is there a particular form to this poem? Like a haiku or a limerick? Am I overthinking all of this because I've been blogging too much this morning?

This is Just to Say
That I can't get you breakfast
or help you with your homework
and that I'm sorry
for duct taping you to your bed
because I stayed up too late
playing games
and I really just want to sleep.
Forgive me.
But my bed's so soft
and your voice so piercing.
and...zzzzz.....


This is Just to Say
that I am spending all my time
playing at the computer,
and eating the last of the ice cream
while you are working hard
to give me a paycheck
that I will have already spent
Forgive me.
It was all so delicious
so sweet
and so cold.

Now the fun part: I tag....Laura, Alexa, Carrie, Shelby, Maryann and Liz and Mia (but only if they want to). Oh! And Jill! How could I forget my hilarious emailing friend? And anyone else. If you don't have a blog, just leave one in the comments.

Oh, and BiV, supreme goddess of HTML, how do you leave a link in the comment section?! I've tried but to no avail.
