That's the sort of treatment that may lead to the kind of behavior alluded to in the other two "Mother's Day" senryu.<BR/><BR/>Does Slovenia have anything like this, polona? It is, of course, essentially a marketing ploy here.<BR/><BR/>Thanks for the comments, my friends.Billhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10717622168200846486noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10945445.post-42785547994218837542008-05-13T10:33:00.000-07:002008-05-13T10:33:00.000-07:00ah yes, it was mother's day in your part of the world...<BR/><BR/>excellent senryu, all three of them.polonahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12631341810150848122noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10945445.post-12885823266001016932008-05-13T07:58:00.000-07:002008-05-13T07:58:00.000-07:00good one!
