Senior Senryu 1: Thought it was love, turned out to be an arrhythmia.

【Content Introduction】

　　"Silver-haired" refers to the elderly; "Senryu" is a traditional Japanese short poem where you can write anything as long as the syllable count is "5, 7, 5"!
　　Silver-haired Senryu? These are humorous doggerels describing various aspects of daily life in old age, from complaining about spouses and health to an unyielding spirit, with no taboos!
 
　　▲Is the funeral home where long-lost friends meet up?
　　▲Smiled too happily when taking a portrait for the memorial, so it was rejected!
　　▲My spouse goes traveling, I'm hospitalized, but the cat gets to stay at a pet hotel?
　　▲Is a pounding heart love at first sight? No! It's just an arrhythmia!
 
　　Tens of thousands of discussions on Threads and Instagram, over a million copies sold in Japan.
　　Elderly people turn their daily lives into poetry, tear-jerkingly funny and bottomlessly dark.
 
　　●Life in old age, forgetting things and declining functions?
　　"Dad yells at / the answering machine / to speak slower"
　　"As I age, I acquire many insects / floaters in my eyes / cicadas in my ears"
　　"On the pedometer / half the steps / are spent looking for things"
　　
　　●Complaining about everything, including the spouse, when will love reignite?
　　"With just one finger / my wife can control her smartphone / and me"
　　"Old woman / please share some of the love / you give to the dog with me"
　　"Holding hands used to be a date / now it's / to prevent falling"
 
　　Everyone grows old, no one can escape it. But when facing life, you can choose to laugh.
　　Sometimes laughing at one's own ailments and the daily grind of mutually annoying spouses;
　　Sometimes with a free-spirited magnanimity, laughing as life enters its twilight.
