“Lock Down” Tanka 272

Since only a few

decades ago did we use

Jail lingo at schools?

 

We build schools with but two doors’

and fence the playgrounds all ’round!

 

“Sounds Like a CSN&Y Song*” Haiku & Tanka 211

One side says it’s right

because the “numbers” are wrong;

others say reverse!

 

They both are wrong! Now, clear up

the mess in your own minds first!
