[Image] Okay, no excuses for me today, I suck. Being that I am laid off for the summer one day runs into the next and I actually forgot it was Wednesday. Many thanks to Handsome Stan for the text reminder. My apologies to you all.
That said...let's do it!!
TOYS!! We all had our favorites...
[Image]...be it trucks and cars...
[Image]...spinning ourselves into a trance...
[Image]... or running a Play Doh restaurant.
[Image]Some of us never stopped playing with them (ehem...you know who you are)
So dig deep into your fondest of memories and get to writing.
"Haiku Anyone? Let's Play With Toys!"

I was slacking off

Catfreeek late to post
Helloooooo, Anyone out there

Never had Cabbage Patch doll
Thought they were ugly

When I have my kids
Octo's hand-me-down toys...wait
He'd prolly keep them
July 01, 2009 6:56 PM
Mom's sage perspective
"Why waste money on a toy
you'll later forget?"
Eight year-old logic
"I *will* still want Stretch Armstrong
When I'm in college"
July 01, 2009 7:04 PM
What's 50 thinking?
The toys I don't keep myself
Zack's getting those, duh
July 01, 2009 7:18 PM
Fear not, Great Catfreeek!
Just running a little late,
Now let's get to it!
Oh, Sears Catalog!
Your crisp pages of new toys,
Like porno for kids.
Things I coveted:
Sit-n-Spin, Big Wheel and that
giant Barbie head.
Mom finally caved
on the Barbie head. Blond curls,
fake make-up - Loved it!
July 01, 2009 7:20 PM
50, you are nuts!
No offense, but Octo has
EIGHT FREAKING NEPHEWS!

Toys these days, Oy vay!
All the noise, noise, noise, noise, noise!
Oh shit, I'm the Grinch!

Push belly button, hair grows

Those Christmas toy ads
Saturday morn temptations
Long lists for Santa

Remote control cars
The commercials lied to us
They were NOT that fast
July 01, 2009 8:42 PM
I knew this one kid
Who punctured his Stretch Armstrong
That kid was trouble
The red goo inside
Stuck to everything it touched
Truly Satan's snot
July 01, 2009 9:38 PM
Fisher Price Castle
That moat gator ain't scary
It's just a sticker
July 01, 2009 9:41 PM
My funny cousin
Stuck my sister's Barbie head
Under his hoodie
That's why she's so dumb!
Her head's about half the size
Of any real head

Yes, I must haiku
But I gotta sort Legos
Just like you guys, right?
It's the only time
My obsession makes me think
What am I thinking?
