Robert, I thank you for the “very clever” and glad you can relate. I must admit I’m not as smooth with the ‘slide’ as I was when I was younger :-)

Very good senyru Mark. The cleverness lies in the succinctness.

Hi Mark, this is man's predicament most of the time. When we take one step ahead, we go two steps backward. A powerful Senryu...! Have a great weekend.

Keen Senryu a fabulous image as well! Fun fact: Tap dancer Bill Bailey's sliding backstep in 1955 may have been the first. Love this!__Anaya
