Jan, very punny! We're sad here that prices have to rise a lot before people realize that our leader is concerned about his own bank account. To a lesser extent, he's helping his billionaire friends. Their increase in income for a bigger yacht and a trip to mars comes at the expense of the rest of us and the environment itself.

Your senryu is cheeky, irreverent, and definitely bawdy! Your humor is sharp, with a playful jab at both inflation and performance issues, making it a witty and unexpected twist on the traditional romantic imagery of roses. Loved it!!

My friends hubby had a flaccid todger, so she decided to take in a lodger, No time for flowers, they were at it for hours, I believe his name was Rodger.
