simply senryu: I: 003 [reflections from a gene pool]

home for Christmas -
three old bladders
and one bathroom

reprise:

dad's armchair --
hindsight
is 20/40

mom's arthritis
acting up again --
I take two Advil

that little grunt
dad always made --
putting on my socks

first date
i lift her toilet seat
i put down her toilet seat

the air filled with
dogwood blossms...
first kiss

your first poem reminds me of this oldie:

toilet seat up --
the bedroom
suddenly chilly
