@_midofo_ Lol I hadn’t seen Wes-P’s latest. I’ll take on this challenge in the morning. The haiku, not the trick shot.
@_midofo_ Oh good, heavy duty benzos. :( I hope the meds balance can be found then. Best of luck.

@_midofo_ [Nods.] That’s tough. And I’m guessing that with puberty etc the whole thing becomes variable for the next few years?
@DrRhysPockett I just realised that one is 7-5-7 not 5-7-5 but I’ll stay with it.
@_midofo_ Damn, that’s a pain. Is the management regime working though?
@_midofo_ Does he actually play football though?
@_midofo_ Lol he’s got a point, and as far as mullets go that’s not so bad.
@19bk69 280 is too long. Way too long. It’s about 16 characters per syllable, I guess 15 if you consider spaces etc..twitter.com/i/web/status/1…q8
@SuperCroup Oh I like that!
@_midofo_ And now I am even more intrigued! :)

@_midofo_ @cathywilcox1 And then my Ode to the Flathead. twitter.com/stilgherrian/s…
@_midofo_ @cathywilcox1 This appears to be my most recent haiku. twitter.com/stilgherrian/s…
@_midofo_ Both this and @cathywilcox1’s poem are lovely. Very haiku material but the four-line format works better for Cathy’s.
@_midofo_ Goddammit now I want to see this poem! It sounds great.
