Spitfire, Lol. You are cracking me up. Such an issue of debate, except if you are stuck on the bowl without a roll--then you won't care if it's one-ply or two-ply.

Of note:

absorbing question

(Thought provoking, especially for all of those deep thinkers ... uhhh, I mean "deep diggers." Oops, did I say that?! Big-teeth smile.)

A poem and a ply for everyone.

Keep the blue waters flowing, and today, we'll refer to those waters as Tidy Bowl.

A fun poem. LateBloomer

    LOL. Just cleaned my bathrooms yesterday with that blue liquid.
    Deep diggers-- boy, could I have fun with that. :-)

Always witty. Hahahaha. For me it's two ply. Had to use my share of one ply aboard ship in the Navy. The thicker stuff would clog the sewer system, causing all the nastiness to back up or explode in the lavatory. Gross!!!!

    Ewww! I never thought of that. Now, I'm thinking of going back to one-ply.

Hi, Shari.
This is really funny and so well done. You are the master at Senryu's, such witty writing using so few words. Great post.
Bye

Lol, very Apt! I always laugh when I write a reviews for Senryus because the review requires two or three times the words of the poem. Well done!

    Yup, what can you say? Although a lot of reviewers have made puns of their own on the subject at hand. :-)

Good Morning, Shari

I'd vote for three-ply for sure just to be sure. lol. You've a great mind for senryu writing and this one is, as your others, just perfect. I admire the subtle humor. The satori is just perfect.

I do have one question, though. Is rhyme permitted in senryu?

    Good question Ray. End rhyme no, but I haven't on clue on internal rhyme. Will check is out.

At my age, I am still trying to find three-ply. I got a kick out of this one, and hate to admit it but this is one I can truly relate to. Great work and thanks for the laugh.

    Hey, girl. I was just thinking about you. Apparently, there is a three ply according to one reviewer. Yep, I spend a lot of time on the toilet. It's called a chance to read my current book. LOL

It seems my family and I use less of tw-ply, so I guess it all balances out cost-wise ... In the end. (Sorry)
Your senryu is fun and love the irony, Shari.
Smiles,
Karyn :-)

Dear Shari, Oh I love this issue. I am a 2 plyer, thank you very much. :) Your mind is always so active I love it. I am still waiting on part 6 of your family story. You are the queen of senryus. Great job, Shirley

Oh always two. There's no question. Who buys one ply? I didn't know people did, weird. You did a great job with this and the picture is perfect. I didn't see anything needing changing

    Thanks, Meghan. Sadly, I didn't notice there were two kinds and bought the one ply. Better to spend a little more and get more!

    Oh my! I bet you were surprised. LOL. FYI they make scented toilet paper too. I bought that by mistake, how was I to know. Stay away from that. It stinks!
