Comment from Liz O'Neill
This is so funny. When I think of myself I do not think of my age. I had a couple of funny experiences when I read about a 69 year old man who go stuck walking in deep snow. I said, "that poor old man." I was 71. Then another time a 70 year old woman got tied up and stuff taken from her home. She quickly got out after they left and the [olice soon caught the kids. I sighed and said,
"that poor old woman," I was 71. I'm sure many readers will laugh and identify with the character in your poem.

Nice little bit of humor in your 5-7-5 senryu.
Shopping at Walmart can be a chaotic experience
in many ways. Mirrors are not often flattering.
Nicely done.
Best wishes to you.

The funny thing is, I can fully believe it. Dang, is right.
I've learned to duck mirrors, so, when I come face-to-face with one,
I'm always thunderstruck. It seems sort of sadistic that others can see our disintegration better than we do.
Best of luck.
Peace, Lee
