Previous senryu
- お父さん マスクも会話も よくずれる
おとうさん・マスクもかいわも・よくずれる
Like his mask / Dad’s conversations / Often drift
Notes:
- Congrats to @Kumirei
- This was a play on words: ずれる can mean askew or shifted, but it can also mean out-of-place or not quite right.
Current senryu challenge

Hint (only open if necessary)
The child’s game rock/paper/scissors or Rochambeau is known as じゃんけん or じゃんけんぽい in Japan. You say グー for rock, チョキ for scissors, and パー for paper.
