We’ll Just Say They Were Made in China… (Haiku Friday III)

Haiku Friday

it’s the end of the
world as we know it, and I
feel fine fine fine FINE

I can’t find stupid
transformer toys anywhere
last minute shopper

all they want is a
giant bumblebee robot
sold out weeks ago

yep, too late again
scary flashbacks dance through mind
damn tickle elmo

must figure out what
excuse I will use this year-
rain checks don’t wrap well

Happy Holidays!!!

    I’m shopping on Sunday. *thud*
    I know. Call in the SWAT team.
    Luckily it’s not for much and no high demand items.
    Sorry about the transformers. So, if you wrapped a Bumble Bee toy from the Bee movie that wouldn’t go over well,huh? You couldn’t claim mommy brain confusion?
    BTW~ LOVE the christmas card!!!

    Judith Says: Oh my, Rach! I shall pray for your safety… Shopping on Sunday is going to be dangerous. LOL. And, nah, I doubt a bee will make such a hot impact when they’re expecting something that turns into a Camaro.

    Glad you liked the card! I was proud. Thank goodness for Cafepress!

    stupid transformers!! they break so easily, too…
    paint optimus prime yellow and call him bumble bee!

    Judith Says: LOL. If I could even find an Optimus Prime… There are NO Transformers anywhere! And I refuse to pay an arm, leg, and house for overnight shipping. :)

    It’s Cabbage Patch all over again. Good luck with the deception!

    Judith Says: I remember my mom paying some teenager to stand in line when the CP preemies first came out… Smart move that. :)

    Keep smiling

    30 years ago it was my mom driving feverishly driving around town to find the last Han Solo action figure. This year, it was me driving all over town to get Skorponok (that Scorpion Transformer). Humankind has achieved so much in 3 decades, and so little.

    Judith Says: LOL. Tell me about it… So tell me, did you ever get that Hans or was your mother able to bribe your happiness with something else a little more readily available? Because I’m seriously hoping that that video camera with green screen thing’ll work… :)
