         BERF

Is a deep thinker
Can get the people talking
Quite a gal, that BERF




( I originally had "Quite a guy, that BERF", but was corrected.  Who knew?) 

Poetry Randy will say this is not a Haiku, he has another name for it, but I forget the name.  Maybe he'll stop by and tell us. 

A haiku on another gather friend will be coming up.

Thanks for reading.

Tanzanite S. Sep 17, 2008, 3:42pm EDT
A 10 for this.

(Russell ,yep, I learned the "hard way" too . . . I think, It's the name, it sounds masculine  ; )
Donna T. Sep 17, 2008, 4:04pm EDT
Well, I'll be ! BERF did not give his/her gender on his/her page.

Sorry, BERF!
Donna T. Sep 17, 2008, 4:05pm EDT
LOL @ Russell ---

Who ELSE thought BERF was a boy?
Donna T. Sep 17, 2008, 4:08pm EDT
Good idea for a contest!
Bruce K. Sep 17, 2008, 4:09pm EDT
Berf ... short for Bertha ... great German name. ;-)
Angela A. Sep 17, 2008, 4:09pm EDT
This poem is the best!
I didn't know Berf's gender either, so don't feel bad!
Carol B Sep 17, 2008, 4:19pm EDT
Good one Donna. So now we all know that Berf is a girl, or is she?
Shirley U Understand Me S. Sep 17, 2008, 4:20pm EDT
still not convinced.....i think berf is two different people.......writing as one
Mary M. Sep 17, 2008, 4:22pm EDT
Ah, the mystery that is Berf . . .
Patti M. Sep 17, 2008, 4:58pm EDT
Berf is a GIRL???????????? Nice poem.
Sharon B. Sep 17, 2008, 5:43pm EDT
cool
Kelly Kay Sep 17, 2008, 6:20pm EDT
I thought Berf was a man too, sorry Berf!
Maureen M. Sep 17, 2008, 8:12pm EDT
LOL i thought BERF was a guy too LOL too funny. I like the haiku too.
Thanks for posting to What's the Point?
Laurie B. Sep 17, 2008, 10:06pm EDT
Good one!
dee b. Sep 17, 2008, 10:15pm EDT
LOL! Cute, and I have though for some time Berf is a female too.
Beth G. Sep 17, 2008, 10:17pm EDT
LOL this was good! Thanks for sharing Donna!
Debbie B. Sep 18, 2008, 12:43am EDT
Good poem--and I was fooled, too. I thought for sure that Berf was a guy. Sorry Berf.
Who wants to make enough points for a Mr. Coffee and a year's supply of Starbucks? There aren't many who've seen this article. I dare someone to post a gender question about Berf.
Kimber F. Sep 18, 2008, 3:52am EDT
Wow, I assumed that BERF was a man too. Funny how you can make these assumptions with very little to on. I guess the name just sounded masculine to me. Anyway, great poem. Thanks for sharing and peace.
Shelbia C. Sep 18, 2008, 3:56am EDT
I thought so too, I think it was the previous icon that lead me to that conclusion.
William Dotani Sep 18, 2008, 4:33am EDT
I'll take your word for it.
Nurse Nancy S. Sep 18, 2008, 11:28am EDT
Thank you for posting to
Oxnard Oasis Sep 18, 2008, 3:46pm EDT
I think it probably doesn't matter unless you're trying to hook up with BERF.
Susan K. Sep 18, 2008, 7:29pm EDT
I guess this answers the question I saw today: Is BERF a man or woman?
Heather ~of the Whippets~ M. Sep 18, 2008, 11:36pm EDT
Cute.
Shirl T. Sep 21, 2008, 3:23pm EDT
THANKS
