Comment from Evelyn Hopkins
I liked how the poem includes satire and British culture. I thought this poem was also well-written and to the point. Good luck in the contest! I hope you have a good day :)

Hi Evelyn,
Welcome to fan story and thank you for your feedback.
The senryu form of poetry is similar to haiku, as in its requirement for limited syllable count. There is therefore no room for descriptive lines and/or emotion.
Kind regards, Debra

Lol! Love your humor and that's the other thing about British culture, you are so good at seeing the humor in yourselves. That's why we love Britcom TV shows here!

Comment from royowen
Aussies are similar, the same sardonic, ironic, self-deprecating sense of humour, we don't like anyone "jumping the queue" (like the French) and we like tea. Although liking the coffee culture, beautifully written, blessings Roy
