    excellent jack! you do not need the --which indicates a kireji or verbal caesura (cutting word), leading to a juxtaposed phrase which is not used in senryu [and is not actually there in your write ;), your content is excellent and has the necessary cynical and darkly humerous tone perfectly so proud to share the spot with YOU!
