This one works, and I think you’re right calling it a senryu.

aj3d – Thanks. I am still grappling with the difference between haiku and senryu. What does the difference mean to you?

Haiku present an image (two rather, and not necessarily visual) without explaining or interpreting anything. Without thinking, as they would say in Zen.
Senryu are any poem in the haiku-format that are not haiku. Most are funny poems about the human condition, or about animals doing silly things, but they can be about anything (sci-fi-ku, etc.).
That’s how I see it.

aj3d – That is a very helpful distinction. Clearer than I have found elsewhere. Thanks.
