Have fun and make up some Facts of Life-inspired haikus! If you're not familiar with, a haiku is a three line poem
First line-5 syllables
Second line-7 syllables
Third line-5 syllables
Rhyming isn't necessary!

Spoiled little rich girl
Snob but with a heart of gold
A great foil for Jo

Tough girl joins the show
Likes bikes and using her fists
A great foil for Blair

Roller skating girl
Likely to get in trooouuubbbllle!
She is Nat's best friend

Chubby, sarcastic
Slims down, becomes a writer
She's Tootie's best friend

Mrs. G takes care
Of the girls with tender love
Sage advice, good food

Early in the show
Lots of girls at Eastland school
Later just the four

Blair's hair from the back
Looked like a butt it was so
Feathered Thank you Margret (sp) Cho.

Nice ode to the "forgotten" girls, Bonnie! I hope to come up with one devoted to my favorite, Nancy.

I agree, Anna, the hair on that show got large! Ah, the '80s! A while ago a high school friend and I were looking at old pictures from then, and we wondered how we even got through the doorways!

Yeah, the higher the hair the closer to God.

I felt bad for the girls who got the ax but the show only got better afterwards.

I disagree. The first season was quite good. I can only watch the first four seasons. After that, the show is almost unwatchable. Only the Eastland years are FOL.

Always on the phone
Boyfriend Roger's never seen
Nancy has no lines

RetroGuy2000 · 07-13-2017, 02:46 PM

Sue Ann smoked some dope
Kansas City's far away
Country girl farewell

Good ones Retro, especially "Nancy has no lines"

Where's Miss Mahoney?
Whatever happened to her?
Rabbits in trouble

RetroGuy2000 · 07-13-2017, 04:36 PM

Haha! Great one, '80s!

Eastland headmaster
Mrs. Garrett helped him out
Then Bradley was gone
