Thanks for reading!

Author's Notes: Three senryu that worked well together in the format above. Originally posted this late and didn't do any of my usual nonsense. This is another entry into my senryu series Scratches In My Mind that I am hoping to transform into a small chapbook-style book before the end of the year. I am not saying that the book will necessarily be a great Christmas gift, but it might be. You know. Little nuggets of truth, little thought-provoking slant views on life, reality, the world around us in classic Japanese 5-7-5 form.

I am really terrible at selling ideas. Would you believe that I was the person that created the concept of the food truck? But, alas, someone was better at selling the idea than me and stole all the credit for themselves.

That is probably bullcrap, but you know. You read it, so who's the real fool here?

Anyway, thank you as always.

Here's the usual upsell. (they're all free)
