Muses work fast is a great line,they sometime work fast and the second line fits the first. The muse does satisfy the writer's itch. Excellent 5-7-5 form that describes well the life of a writer.

HaHa! Rank results for sure. No time for hygiene. Perfect picture to compliment your senryu. It has been humorous also watching all of our posts popping up faster than usual. 8-)

I can't believe the amount of PM's and Reviews. Can't find time to write one, let alone two a day.

Very clever and topical write at this time on site when many are posting their arses off to get an early high ranking, Shari.

I interpret 'rank' as having a double meaning - one being the obvious, and maybe the other being smelly ('rank').

No way can I keep up with this posting free for all, but I would still accept a review from you to help keep me in the new top hundred or so. LOL.

Cheers, Ray xx

If someone posts two, I'll pick the best one to rate and delete the other. The only way to keep up! I'm so behind in reviewing, but trust me, you're not on my throwaway list.
Hugs,
Shari

Ah, yes. It is that time of year again when so many feel the need to write, write, write in the hope of making the top 10, even if only for a few days. It is fun to start the year on an even level with everyone else. Very nice work with this one, I enjoyed it very much.

Thanks, Sasha. A fresh start is good and six posts keeps us busy. I don't think two centers should count. That makes it too easy to put on anything knowing it will probably get at least two reviews, yet keep you in the running. Sigh...

Hi Shari. It's so true that people are feeling the excitement and frenzy of new rankings, especially when the number to rank went up to six posts. Great word economy in this commentary poem. Happy new year.

Ah, I thought I remembered it being lower last year. Tom gets a longer holiday now. LOL

Lol. Well, I guess I just couldn't imagine this in any other color-combo:-)

Ha ha ha--great ironic pun in the closing line, dear friend. It's so silly how people think those rankings mean anything at all. This has, in spite of itself, fine poetic devices with superb word economy and consonance of S, F and T in all lines. Bravo. Great picture choice too. Ha ha ha

Chuckling,

Ranking makes FS more like a board game, but never a bored game. :-)

I think with the new rankings, all the muses are gonna see some overtime rewards in their paychecks. The trick is to keep them busy the rest of the year. Ha. Your senior and choice of artwork is always top-notch.

I know it's rank right....enough to make us crank out proses and poems so furiously fast to make us rank....hence cranky muses to amuse us as your poem certainly did.
God bless
