Boredom In the Bathroom

The greatest relief
in life, the convenience
of a newspaper.

hahahha, I cannot believe I never responded to this one, or even read it yet!! It's GREAT. And just the other day I was telling Joe, as he took one of my magazines into the bathroom. "why the heck do you read in the bathroom. I just go in there and do my business and quickly get back out." In my husband's case, it's his only time to read, hahahaha (since he generally does not like reading at all)!

Got a chuckle from this one. I've never seen a woman take a newspaper into the bathroom. Must be a male thing, Harry. Enjoyed your senryu! Love, Carolyn
