TODAY'S POEM ('senryu' *)
"dabbling" -- upended
ducks, swans, geese and poets probe
beneath the surface.

* learn more HERE about "senryu", a term that designates a lesser-known Japanese short poem that shares the physical characteristics of haiku (nominally 17 'on' / syllables in three non-rhyming lines), but deals in a satiric or humorous way with human foibles rather than with Nature.

IMPORTANT NOTICE:
The editors find it necessary to announce to our public (admittedly only a few handfuls of readers) that this blog, having communicated our offbeat, sometimes bizarre and possibly entertaining thoughts for 2,000 episodes (30 per month since January, 2020), will be drawing to a close. We have been "dismissed"; there are no replacements to be engaged, and our "show" in its present form will be discontinued immediately. Thus, there will be no new postings after July 20, although we will hang around for a couple months, and fill a few remaining old 'post-holes' (i.e. some twenty 'missing' or duplicate emanations), tidy our punctuation, revitalize some 'dead' links, concoct a few summaries reviewing our material, and finish the chord charts for playing our parody-songs.
Thank you, It's been fun!!!
Giorgio and Dr GH
