    Obscure senryus
    Call on the depths of the mind,
    Intimidating.

    Absolutely love the cartoon, my first laugh of the day, and it was a loud one, thank you Michael.

    • Michael Edwards

      Pleased you like it - since it was published about 10 years ago I've seen another cartoon along similar lines so I can't say the strap line is 'unique' but it still makes me smile when look at it.

        I've seen another cartoon with a similar strap line since this was published some 10 years ago so it's not unique but I still smile when look at it. Thanks Andy.

        Oh lol, fine write and pic Michael. Ahh. 'Frequently making no sense' That apply to 99% of us?!

        • Michael Edwards

          Which is the 1% of me it doesn't apply to?

          • orchidee

            Your (our) thinking? If that's 1% of us? Oohh, it's dangerous , too much thinking - so some say!

            Isn’t that why we love a senryu!

            Made me smile this morning!

            • Michael Edwards

              Yes indeed - I was thinking of wring several of them - one line which came to me was 'Chickens don't make sand castles' - I don't know why but it just sounds a bit of daftness - how can I use it?

              Wallpaper fading
              Sun rays through open windows
              Chickens don't make sand castles.

              Perhaps 'Please don't bang on the saucepan' would work better - think I ought to go back to bed!

                Beautiful, yet there is a part of me that can even find something in the obscure!

                You should do a fusion of obscure senryus 😊

                  Obscure - yes - and as for my wotsits I guess you're right

                • Fay Slimm.

                  Ha ha ha - couldnt get past the laugh at that wry humour of your wonderful sketch today Michael - will try to catch up with the Sens later...........

                  • Michael Edwards

                    Do have a go Fay -

                    Get your pen out Fay
                    try to do a senryu
                    crumpets on cows horns.

                    The inspiration for this fine write came from The Cow and Crumpet - a local hostelry where I sup and ponder.

                    Fido's obscure too - imaginary. Aww! You had any fights with Bram Berles lately?
