Previous senryu
- オフクロの好きなタレント役しだい
オフクロの・すきなタレント・やくしだい
the actor / that mom likes depends / on the role
Notes:
to @fallynleaf for a perfect 3-5-3- オフクロ is a colloquial expression for one’s mother. This was news to me! Apparently it’s a warm expression with no negative connotations (exactly unlike “an old bag” in English). I don’t know the etymology but I’ve seen some discussion about it actually relating to the womb!
- A タレント is a TV personality, usually a singer or an actor.
- (I accidentally numbered this incorrectly yesterday. It’s actually #71, not #72.)
Current senryu challenge
Volume: Various settings
- 「絶対にヒミツ」飛びかう昼休み
If I understand this one correctly, the setting reminds me very much of an office where I used to work.
