Senryu

Yes, I know, most would call it haiku but in fact the following is rather a senryu as it is human-orientated (in truth, it's a rewrite of an oldie adjusted to 5-7-5 form of which I am usually not too fond)

overcrowded bus
the last seat is occupied
by a shopping bag

Oh my friend, you don't know how often that happens and how nasty people are when it comes to moving them. The fight like children. Well done my friend :)

Make the shopping bag walk!

On a bus full of teens, an old man on crutches hobbled onto the bus. I was the only one who stood -- and I was wearing a leg brace. Consideration has died.

alas, complete lack of consideration seems to be a worldwide thing, and it is most transparent in traffic and public transport. it's a jungle out there!

thank you my friends!
