Haiku and a reading: last two meetings

Bookworm wrote a haiku for the August 6th meeting.

Masks and spooky cats
Halloween is very fun
Trick or treat, eat up!

The rest of us just found haikus and read them out loud. We were also assigned to read "How the Rhinoceros Got His Skin" by Rudyard Kipling for discussion. Our favorite quote is the sloka (which isn't really quite a sloka) that the Parsee man recites:

"Them that takes cakes
Which the Parsee man bakes
Makes dreadful mistakes."

Next time we will discuss "The Necklace of Princess Fiorimonde" by Mary de Morgan.

Cheers,
