About Masago
- Masago
- Edmonton, Alberta, Canada
- From "The Haiku Anthology" I became interested in Haiku and I have since written numerous haiku, senyru, and tanka. "Masago", my haiku pen-name, means "grain(s) of sand" in Japanese. I have recently started learning Esperanto and Japanese. A few years ago I developed a new eastern verse form which we now call 'Renhai'.

993: Wad.
[Spitballs are small bits of paper that have been chewed and mixed saliva. In Junior High school we'd compete to see who could hit a wall from the furthest away. Sometimes we'd try to hit a moving target. Another thing we'd try and do was to see who could make the biggest wad that could stick to the ceiling. We weren't always around to see the ones come down that didn't stick.]
So you were one of those boys I used to sit faaaaaaaar away from in school. :)
This brings back memories. :)
nothing changes - except the price of paper
in view of your subject matter

I studied in an all girls' school and we did the same..:D
and i would happen to be the moving target...
Ah yes, I remember too. What fun!
No wonder I failed physics.
Aurora: Well, actually I didn't do that much shooting of spitballs...I was more into hand-made mini-darts made from needles, toothpicks, thread, and cardboard. :-)
Andrew: :-)
Pamela: True.
Floots: *hee hee*
John: Look out. :-)
Gautami: Aha, I figured there were girls that did this too.
Polona: *lol*
Beaman: Failing physics...on the contrary, one had to calculate the proper trajectory and wind resistance... :-) Thanks for commenting!
Actually I was (and still am) a pretty fair shot. My friends don't let me have straws when we go out to eat. I love this!!
Pat: I'll keep that in mind when we meet for our book signings. :-)
