Basically, senryu is a kind of poetry that is similar in form to haiku. While haiku portrays the relation of the nature and inner state of human being (emotions, feelings), Ross says, senryu deals with human nature and is most often expressed as a joke. The following are some of them. You can laugh or smile, hopefully. Enjoy reading, but comments are most welcome.
