This is a good question you pose at the end. What happened to him? He must have gotten into the koolade. I wonder if he's lost all respect from even tRump's base.

    Surely, he drank way too much. Thanks for the read and comment. I doubt if the tRump base possesses the trait of respect.

As to he question at the end the answer is he Apparently into the gutter. When you mess with skunks you will smell like one too. Good job with the senryu.

Dear Mystery Writer,

So many of these political poems I'm reading are so cynical. And I suppose I can understand a lot of the reasoning, but man, I would love to think there are still good guys and gals out there!

I also noted that you have 5 syllables in your first and third line, but only 6 in your second. 'Giuliani' is four syllables, right?

Thanks and good luck!

    According to "How Many Syllables" site at https://www.howmanysyllables.com/syllable_counter/ Rudy Giuliani has seven syllables. I checked twice. Thanks for your read and feedback. I think things will be changing. At least I hope so.

    Actually, we are both wrong. It's three syllables Here is a link where they SAY it.

    Evidently it's JOO-YAN-EE

    I don't know now I have three possible syllable counts. I think, I stick with the seven and see of the judge agree. Thanks for you concern and help

    good luck. Most of the time, when they question you - if you can show at least one source that agrees with you/back you up, they'll allow it.

Ha, good one author. I often wonder with all the mistakes and gaffes Giuliani has made, how he still seems to come out on top again and again.

An excellent entry into the senryu contest and adhering well to the "rules".

Wish you much luck with the voters.

Gloria

-A good cartoon and
nice presentation.
-The syllable count is good.
-Effective description in line one.
-A good question at the end showing
how low he has sunk.
-If not for his contracting the virus,
I would have answered,
"probably lower!"
-Good luck in the contest.
