Ketchup or mustard
a squirt of each, or blended,
French fries to your taste
A fun poem with the 5-7-5 format. Perhaps you prefer Ranch dressing, or plain fries...try mixing a dot of mustard with ketchup. Better yet, buy Portland Organic Ketchup. You can eat it with a spoon! Ketchup from Portlandia. 😁

I wanted to title this something different, but worried that my chosen title might cause problems entering the United States in the future so this is the new title. It's the greatest title. No one has ever written a title better than this. (All titles unrelated to content).
Let me be honest. I am finding this difficult. Now, I like a challenge, a stretch, a bit of an obstacle course. “Write about the decline of the British Empire in the form of a narrative poem in which your protagonist is an artichoke” I read, and flex my fingers. “Write a haiku to evoke the sensation of sibilance using only the first half of the alphabet.” “Well”, I think to myself, “this should be fun.” But “write about a system that isn’t working”? A system that isn’t working? Now? In 2026? ONE system? My favourite system that isn’t working? The sexiest system that isn’t working? The one giving me the most angst day to day? The one giving me the most existential dread? I am, as I say, finding this difficult. I will own that I have contemplated writing a thousand words on why the steady “all on” setting on my fairy lights is the EIGHTH of seven options which must be sequentially activated to get there, because that is a system that some fool came up with and it definitely doesn’t work, and now who is paying the price, eh? But how can I write about my fairy lights when…. When…. When….

I miss French fries... fun poem
Ah french fries with ranch, ketchup...mustard not so much. Hoe to get them from bottle to mouth...looks tricky.
That image for some reason, made me laugh and feel a little queasy lol. I am, in fairness, feeling quite rough at the moment (got some kinda coldy bug thing, crap crappy) anyway. Loved this. Loved how well it all fit together and one of both please! lol. Tbh...I like mayo with fries also!
Ooh…I would like to try the Portlandia Ketchup…and sea salt please!
Yummm!!! Making me hungry! Love your poem! 💌
Well, I don't like ketchup because it's too sweet. I've never tried mustard, but I might give it a shot someday.
I like my french fries with salt and nothing else, hehehehe. Loved your Senryu!
Well done Andrea
Oh, definitely separate. But I also was turned on to just mayo at one point. So now I have all 3 on my plate to dip into each.
