Haiku, Not Achoo at Sweet Tooth

Here is something fun which we did at Sweet Tooth.

A few weeks ago we had Connie Cronley in our store, signing her new book, SHAKE A STICK AT IT.  By the way, we have some signed copies still available.

Connie is a fan of Haiku.  In preparation for her visit, all of us attempted to write some Haiku poems.  Read on.

Holiday season
amidst noise and confusion
May we practice peace.

May serenity
and harmony abound this
holiday season.

Swamped by the great
ladies from snowy Vermont,
they came, they conquered.

Black Friday shoppers
Be kind to retail workers
Santa is watching.

May I have patience
with selfcentered shoppers this
holiday season.

Duties at Sweet Tooth
stretch my capabilities
so I do my thing.

Many treats are sweet
Some are sour and some are both
Chocolate is not.

Connie also wrote in her book that she does not like accordion music.  So, Jeff got out his junior accordion and while Connie was in the store, he played WHEN THE SAINTS GO MARCHING IN.  Connie has a captivating laugh and she used it well as Jeff played the song.

He also attempted THE YELLOW ROSE OF TEXAS which Connie declares in her book that any piece, no matter its subject or purpose, can be sung to that song!!

Sweet Tooth:  Our Happy Place.
