    Glad I relieved your stress if only for a few minutes. Bet you'll think of this every time anyone sneezes into a hanky now.

Hahaha oh, Shari, this is a wonderful Senryu. Your sense of humor and irony is always right on. It's Ike this format was made for your humor. Loved it!

This made me smile. I work in retail and you know how many people don't cover their mouths when they cough and sneeze. Its disgusting. You did a fantastic job and great job wording this

Shari:

This one totally took me by surprise! I am still laughing! The picture of the gal ala her expression with the Kleenex and her mouth wide open ready for what may come looks like it was
made especially for this poem. And all of that in only twelve syllables!

in my hands
an unused Kleenex
waits for blow job

Had to read it one more time!

Well, that's a shocker! I wonder what the poetry police will have to say about this, lol! My next question lurks: And who is the lucky guy? Shhh ... Don't tell. I'll keep guessing. Thank goodness for Kleensex!

LOL - Nice to see you post something a little naughty, Shari. You've been Miss Goody Two Shoes for a while.

I wish that sneezing was just my allergy reaction. It affects my head - sinus pain and even upsets my stomach.

    My muse told me to behave myself, but she turned her back today.
    You sure you're not pregnant? LOL

    LOL - today I'm fine. The symptoms come and go. No rhyme or reason. What you wrote (email) was really good. You should post that for the fellow on the forum. Better yet, see if you can use it for a poem or prose. Yes - write a light hearted warning about being taken advantage of when self-publishing.

Oh, this is funny. Just what I needed on this rather gloomy day. Your satori line is really unexpected, so it makes a perfect conclusion. The title could suggest anything, so you really build up. Great job. Too bad this isn't for a contest. judi

    Thanks, judi. I'd only put it in a contest that displayed my name. I lost the First Line one in a nasty defeat. but I did get 33 reviews or more. That soothe my ego.

    You're welcome. I never get that many reviews without promote, promote. judi

HA! I love this one. Like usual, you are straight-forward with words that make the meaning clear. This doesn't have to be nasty. It can be taken either way. However, I must admit that I took it the nasty way first. HA! What a cute littler post. Best wishes, my friend.

Always with respect,

    That's the fun of senryu. It can be interpreted two ways.

You have a marvelous way of muddling up mu mind making me wonder if I over-thought your meaning or if I have just turned into a dirty old lady...probably both. This is hysterical no mater which way I read it. Great job, as always.
