Comments by Christopher Herold:
This writer has cleverly arranged
the elements of his experience to induce laughter. A well-choreographed punch
line! But for the truth of this observation, however, the humor of it might be
lost. So, the combination of truth and the poet’s skill has resulted in a
very entertaining senryu. For many youths, college is not just a place to deepen
their knowledge of particular subjects, or to develop skills necessary to embark
upon their careers. It is also a time for reveling in new freedoms, and at becoming
autonomous. In fact, in the lives of no small number of students, studying ranks
well below partying on their priority lists. Of course, this too is a facet of
education. Thanks for the chuckles.
