Late this morning. Mea culpa!
Previous senryu
勤務先電話をすれば夫休み
きんむさき・でんわをすれば・おっとやすみ
If I call my husband’s office / they tell me he’s on vacation
Notes:
- Went with my own interpretation again since there didn’t seem much disagreement
- The implication seems to be that either he asked someone (who didn’t realize it was his wife) to “tell her I’m not here” or that she caught him playing hookey.
- Consolation/participation
to @JazzFuneral
Current senryu challenge
Volume: Heartfelt
- 家中でだまされてやる父の嘘
No hints because I find this one pretty difficult. I’m looking forward to hearing your thoughts.
