    Good solid verse, well worth putting up at every election going on in your area too. :-)

    kind regards,

    There's something completely deadpan about this that captures the non-partisan malaise, the exact political environment in which we live. Also, the poem gives the old expression–gone to the dogs–new meaning.

    This one should make it into a collection of witty haibun/senryu.

  16. Annette Makino Says:

    Thanks everyone for the great comments! You have encouraged me to consider painting a haiga using this senryu. Maybe it will be ready in time for the next election season — I have a feeling it will still be current!
