Writing those can be a lot of fun. They also can stave off boredom. I wrote an acerbic tanka in faculty meeting last semester. <br /><br />Or beer. Beer helps.Quintilian B.

After all those years of puking and hurting, they disappeared when I got pregnant with Ben and haven't returned. If I had known this years ago, I would have gotten pregnant at 14 and saved myself two decades of misery.
