Ruth's Remarkable Parodies

More Ruth's Remarkable Parodies

Cooleagues!

I apologize in advance for my brief -- yet poignant -- offering. I think that this last couple of weeks has just used up most of my brain.

Anyway, to prepare for this one, simply wrap yourself in flowered silk, paint your face a deathly white and lips a brilliant red. Kneel, gracefully pour your tea, and then, just before you keel over sideways (everybody except Tomomi, anyway :-D ), contemplate the simple beauty of my poem:

 

Purple gathering,
Spring is icumen in.
Please give on Friday.


 

Hmmm, just ever so faintly, could it be that I am hearing the sound of one hand clapping?

And now, having set back relations with the Chrysanthemum Throne by approximately 100 years, I think I'll go throw myself on my sleeping mat!

Syonara,
Ruthie
