Hahaha! What a great senryu -- even the note 'constipated rhythm' was a hoot. None worth a shit is soooo perfect. It's a good thing I've been regular lately or I might not have seen the humor. Never! I will never lose the ability to laugh. Hugs, Lou

    Thanks, Lou. Am playing catch-up again, but managed to work on my script a little. Did you have your reading yet?

LOL at the pun, Shari.

I'd recommend a very hot and spicy Indian curry, washed down with 4 pints of real ale to remedy any 'lack of movement'. ;-)

Thanks for the smile.

Cheers, Ray xx

Bravo! This has to be one of the funniest senryus I've ever read. The image is perfect as well. Having just got over a tummy bug that had me running to the loo every five minutes, I had to take pills that had the opposite effect. Now I'll probably be bunged up for days!

    I'm laughing at your detailed review. I don't know which is worse - to be plugged up or washed out.

LOL is that Dumb or Dumber? Your poem is funny, clever use of word play, and a good ad for enemas. Enjoyable and very fun to read, Shari.
Smiles,

constipated rhythm senryu (ten laxative brands) This is indeed a humorous poem you have created here. Perhaps next time some Sunlight soap will do the trick. Big chief no shit, big shit, no chief. Well done.

    You threw me a curve with the chief talk. Now I get it. LOL

Picture is worth a thousand words. Ouch!!! No relief after taking ten different medications? Time for an enema. Funny, witty and humorous. Hope your not basing this on some personal experience...

    Unfortunately, my hubby doesn't eat enough roughage or fiber. Does that answer your question?

This is great. The ambiguity of that last line is super clever. The fact that every word in that last line is a single syllable punctuates your disdain.

    I have to credit the last line to hubby. Actually, it's his big problem. :-)

    Was that from Dumb and Dumber? I found it on Google Images and thought it looked familiar. Anyway, it suited the poem. Thanks for the neat review and rest of the story.

    yep, dumb and dumber. Hilarious!
