gautami tripathy said...: Same thought as polona..:D; 6:42 PM
Bill said...: Polona and Gautami, I know what you mean. This one is not exactly universal in its appeal. The pitcher is in a position of having to make a decision--what pitch to throw--when he is behind in the count, that is, at a disadvantage. And he's apparently having trouble making up his mind. I think most of us can relate to that when it's understood in these terms.; 5:43 PM
polona said...: thank you for your explanation, bill. it makes sense now (and can relate of course) and i think it's a very clever senryu.; 12:49 PM
Bill said...: Thank you, polona. I appreciate your coming back to this.; 9:00 PM
gautami tripathy said...: Thanks for explaining i. I appreciate it very much.; 9:54 PM
Bill said...: My pleasure, gautami. Thanks for coming back.; 3:48 PM
