moms’ school lunches: a haiku menu, column B

pb and no j
my mom’s punishment sandwich
couldn’t talk all day

my best friend’s mother
packed tuna salad for him
his bagged lunches stunk

why did my mother
pack egg salad sandwiches?
by lunch, always spoiled

mom was a great cook
never good at sandwiches
soooo much mayonnaise

school lunches just sucked
trying not to sit alone
mom’s weird sandwiches
