Wade’s 101: Haiku retrospective 11

Friday, October 24th, 2008
  1. navigating by heart
    Even driving in
    circles can be fun with the
    ideal passenger.
  2. how to draw a princess
    Make the hair long, with
    a flowing gown. Or have a
    four-year-old draw it.
  3. blazing around
    A hundred degrees
    don’t make you smarter, but they
    do make you suffer.
