Funny, funny and then there's funny. You commented on something I wrote, didn't recognize your name but that doesn't mean we haven't crossed paths. Can't trust me memory. This is a hoot, Oliver (love your name.) Poetry hugs ... CayCay

Sounds like we see life in similar way. I have a weird sense of humor that it takes people a while to understand. I looked up Senryu, as had never heard of it. I write in Grook frequently which seems similar. I found poetry soup a year after you. So much to think about and enjoy in this three liner, glad to have come across your work.

We must. I too have a weird sense of humor. I should post more of my Limericks although some may be a bit bawdy for here. My favorite are the varied Japanese styles. I am not familiar with GROOK. will have to look up. I will look at your poetry as well. Thanks
