Previous senryu
- 忘れ物してたまるかの十五階
わすれもの・してたまるかの・じゅうごかい
I vow never to forget anything from (my room/the office?) on the 15th floor
Notes:
@Myria for helping us to figure this one out!- 〜てたまるか is short for 〜て堪るものか and is a set phrase to indicate that one would never let something happen (explained perfectly in the imabi.net article posted by @Myria)
