Where's the Glory?
In breaking news, rehabilitated Republican Senator Johnnie Johnson (Pronouns: HE, HIM, HIS) called a press conference from the Men’s room of the New Orleans Louis Armstrong International Airport, Concourse B, across from the Ignatius Reilly’s Lucky Dog stand. The Senator had just returned from a sexual reorientation rehabilitation program in Memphis, TN after being publically disgraced at a Buckee’s Truckstop restroom soliciting sex from an undercover cop three months ago. He is a founding member of the Reformed Christians for Christ, a conservative, pro-family and ex-gay advocacy group. In the spirit of being reborn, Senator Johnson invited reporters to marvel at his plans for a major remodeling of airport bathrooms.

Fabulous!!
So clever, well done!
Ooh, I like this one!
Now THAT'S a question!
Oh snap! Loved it!!
Very nice! A deep layer beneath a simple subject!
Got me smirking with this one Lamar, super clever!
Oooo, this was so deep! Loved your Senryu!
Ah, so philosophical, and coming from a truly mundane object! Great take on the challenge, Lamar!
Great poem for this challenge Lamar!
This is very insightful, Lamar. This is the second Senryu I have read today from the mundane object challenge that made me think! How much is too much? Sometimes we let circumstances or others pull us to the breaking point before the pressure forces us to quit or withdraw or reassess. Only then can we bonce back and start again!
I like how you used elastic to measure how much a person can take to bounce back
Good grief...There is a Mundane objects challenge. I like it. That question above is a very good one. Tension is setting in now from hopping al over, reading stories. Time to relax. Gone to think on it.
Deep! Excellent work, Lamar!!!
Loved the double meaning, so well done! And you had me right away at the title :)
Artfully executed! I used to resent the mandatory brevity of the haiku and related forms; I now recognize how purely they distill meaning, as this senryu does!
Awesome!!! Loving it!!!💕❤️❤️
