It is 12.30 in the morning, I am shattered and have a stomach ache BUT...I am laughing my miserable head off, Michael; this is brilliant. I could go on about the title being the sneaky fourth line, the tension built and then the BAM moment, but I am fully aware that they are all the things you taught me about senryu!

This is wonderful and thanks for making a sickly man laugh in the dead of night!

Ps. I've had a few of those dastardly letters myself...

I wonder what you've done to receive a fine Michael...glad you can still feel humour in parting with your cash :)

Ow how sad, Michael. I had maybe two of them in all the years I have driven a car, but it so stings to get them. A good thing you can vent it in a poem!

Well done,

(((hugs))) xx
