A Haiku or Two, on Holiday Parties

Haiku52:
Our thoughts on food and cooking
In seventeen beats. 

Here’s a way to make your holiday party more fun: Get out scrap paper and a pile of pens and ask each of your guests to write a haiku (and, if you’re feeling meta, ask them to write a haiku about holiday parties!). This is the result of our exercise:

Kristen

My mother’s hors d’oeuvres,
always cream cheese and canned fish.
Someday I’ll grow up.

Sarah

are you my cousin
or a friend of my father?
either way, goodbye.

is it okay if I
just leave this party, go home,
and eat a pizza? 

Kenzi

Why is the punch bowl
empty again? I swear some-
one just filled it up.

Nozlee

Drank too much again.
Everyone I know left.
Need more canapés.
