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! Light & Love

Reads like a winner..I like the play on words..Good luck in the contest...Thanks for stopping by..I put butter on the pill but I had looked it up on the internet..Wrote a blog about it..The butter did the trick..I don't know if it will work again or not but I hope so for that will make pill day much easier..Sara
