1. "I'll Get By"?

[MineralMan]

2. Nope. Sorry. That song was written in 1928. I do not know

whether its verses are haiku, but it's not the correct answer.

On Edit: I checked lyrics. Verses aren't haiku.

13. I had in-laws who were a generation removed. My F-I-L was a WW-II sub repairman.

They didn't have my wife's older sister until they were in their 40's and we're both 47 now. Unfortunately, both have left this world. I miss them.
