I sometimes save these little scaps found in Chinese Cookies and then ask myself why I think my fate should lie in a cookie? Sensational senryu, robert. Lainie

Very interesting senryu, Rob. Sometimes the cookie messages seem to be right on target. Other times, we just scratch our heads wondering what it means. But I do believe a person's character influences their destiny. Nice work! Love, Carolyn
