Bad Dog Haiku(s) Is the plural haiku or haikus?

Thank goodness you're cute,
Or we'd send you to China,
Where they eat bad dogs.

A reprieve for you,
please remember this when you
want to eat more socks.

Eating socks is bad,
Butter is bad for you, too,
And leave trash alone.

We love you Annie,
It's sometimes hard to see why,
Guess we're not that smart.

Top 10 Mental Floss Traveling Tips (for the UK)

  1. You might want a wash-n-wear style. Or a hat.  I shall henceforth be known as the American with frizzy, humidified, not flat-ironed, virtually unkempt hair because Big and I don't want to risk trying to see if our connectors will work w/o blowing a fuse in our B&Bs or Aparthotels.  Might not be this gun-shy if that "blowing the power out completely" in Lucerne, Switzerland 15 years ago in our B&B incident hadn't occured. (smooth) .
  2. While blowing dry your hair, it will be impossible to do so in the bathroom.  And I don't know why--each place we've been to has only allowed shavers in the bathroom.  Mmm.
  3. In London, you must walk as if in a hurry, with someplace signficant to be.  And if a cop tells you to evacuate Green Park or St. James' Park, please do so.  With nary a backwards glance for a picture, if you please.
  4. You might be thankful for an ensuite washer/dryer unit which cleans approximately 3 items of your clothing (2 items, if we're talking the man child's and man's clothing) at a time.  In a 2 hour cycle.
  5. You might be craving ice water.  And 2nds on beverages (unless you go to the overpriced Hard Rock Cafe in Edinburgh, where we might've celebrated Big's b'day).
  6. You may need just a day or 1/2 a day to just do nothing whilst your significant other tromps around the British Open.  Well, not nothing really...reading an entire novel isn't NOTHING.
  7. You may wish to lose weight or become shorter, not for fashion reasons; but because size matters.  Ahem. The accommodations are excellent space savers/users; however, you might trip over other family members in the tight quarters.
  8. It's coffee with MILK, not cream.  Got it. 
  9. Just close your eyes when your husband drives in the UK.  He's doing a brilliant job--but I still feel like we're about to die, simply b/c it feels so wrong.
  10. Give thanks to the Lord for He is good.  He provides the job, which provided the means to come and to recreate in a gorgeous setting.
