A highly effective senryu. The satori line works because of its inspired play on the word 'amused'. This is accomplished writing.

Always good to have a light hearted view of life and a sense of humor about things and oneself. I'm glad your keeping your family amused as their MUSE. Good luck in the contest.

You have senryued yourself very well. That you have a fine sense of humor is evident from the poem. Only those who can laugh at themselves are the best in it. Your last line was so funny; glad to be the muse of the family. Best of luck.

    Thank you scd41 for reading my senryu and seeing my side as I try never to be too serious, but can be if needed so at times that side can come around too, but on the whole I can do some dumb things at times and always laugh when I do . so appreciate your review with Cheers Christine

Hello Poet,

Yes, isn't it fun to be the amusement factor of the family......Hey! it's a dirty job but somebody has to do it!
Besides, a sense of humor is something you're born with...someone has to keep the masses entertained, lol.

Great entry into the contest...best of luck!
Bill

Nice twist in the satori line. I like the idea of thinking of oneself as a muse. Actually, the first line could be satori too-- brain in overdrive. That describes me too!

Being a parent takes a lot of patience and time, but as long as your muse rubs off on them, that is the main thing. Good touch of humour and well expressed message. Good luck in the contest, Faye
