Papa's SENRYU, Batch No. 1

Early morning motion,
Body responds, on automatic,
But brain delayed.
- - - - - - - - - -
Exacerbating an already
Sensitive situation,
The wrong cologne.
- - - - - - - - - -
Loud and declarative,
The order is issued,
But no one moves...
- - - - - - - - - -
A water-tight logical plan
Falls-apart completely
Before the look in her eyes.
- - - - - - - - - -
Monkey with an abacus,
Seagull with a wrist-watch,
My wife and sports on T.V.
- - - - - - - - - -
Deep stunned silence,
Forks & spoons held in mid-air,
After a magnificent belch.
- - - - - - - - - -
The work of an office
Is less like baseball
And more like soccer.
- - - - - - - - - -
Mixed feelings over the
Main course at Olive Garden,
My first Senior Citizen discount...
- - - - - - - - - -
Always sensitive and
Reacting to the winds,
Weather-vanes and politicians.
- - - - - - - - - -
Tears in front of my wife
At a restaurant,
After the spicy Thai curry.
- - - - - - - - - -
Negotiating question asked,
But no reply received,
Which turned out to be the answer.
- - - - - - - - - -
Last night's left-overs
Spread all around the trash box
Thanks to the crows...
