A well-written contest entry. You chose an interesting subject. Some people learn early that you can go far with the right compliments. I think you completed the challenge of the contest very well.

Comment from Dean Kuch
Hahahaha...
I find it's best and difficult enough just to please yourself, much less everyone else, Yelena.
Brown-nosers, posers, arse kissers...call 'em what you will, but they are all the same.

Thanks for the great review, Dean. I tried to pick a worthy human foible (lol). Glad you enjoyed.
I love your fancy signature line!
Comment from Susanne M. Psyris
Excellent satire in this 17 or less senyru! Very much enjoyed the smile it brought to my face this evening. Everything is not honky-dory on the home-front! I absolutely hate assholes and Mark can be such a great one at times...I refuse to be an ass-kisser to get along with him! lol....I thought your certificate was a perfect touch to the piece!!!! Great job, honey! Good luck in the contes...love and God bless! Susanne

Susanne, thank you for the magnificent review and the six stars. I am glad it gave you a chuckle and brought associations (lol). Yes, the picture certainly added spice to the topic.
Love and hugs, Y.
Comment from valmay
I liked this best because it's often so hard to remain authentic and true to yourself in a world that demands conformity. Is there a middle road? A road for individualism? This entry raised a lot of questioning emotion in me.

Thank you for the exceptional review and the honor of six stars. I truly appreciate it. Yes, it is hard to remain authentic and true to your ideals in this corrupt world. These people have in good on both sides of the fence (lol) though.

the sentiment is there, it is almost too nice in tone with the title. But still catching a bit of human nature in a short 17 syllables! Good work.

An optimistic senryu... A pleasure to see one.
You stick to the senryu form well, and the poem has a great message.
Well presented too.
Rose.

Thank you for the great review, Rose. Good to hear from you. I tried to pick a worthy human foible (lol).

Me too. This was a fun challenge. I found that only a few folks stayed with the traditional senryu format. Disappointing.
Comment from Sandra du Plessis
A very well-written Senryu. It is not only hard, but close to impossible to please everyone. So be happy about the ones you please and laugh at the ones you don't please, they won't be happy in heaven either.

Not a word wasted to describe this human foible; even the title is well used. I think we all know people like this who want to please everyone so they take no stance of their own. Good luck in the contest.

In my opinion, a treatise on life we all know and love or hate - well done in its short and succinct verse -fully compliant with the prompt. Best of luck in the contest...
