good, Sayeed. the last line (''I don't want to die'') could also be linked to a ''weak'' moment in the psychological status of the poet.. senryu 'explores' the weaknesses of human nature, usually in a humorous or satirical way, but also describing a moment/view in the psychological life of human beings. This is the most important aspect of senryu - not simply 'humour'. And indeed, the most respected senryu poetry presents a deeper side that expresses misfortunes and moments of difficulty..
