I have to agree with you. Sushi is not for human consumption. I have never eaten it and will not try it. There's too much chance of contamination.

It's also expensive stuff. I once dated a Japanese girl who had to have sushi about every day. I tried it twice, and said 'that's it - never again' . I get nauseous watching people eat it.

Good Senryu! Funny, too. You should alert readers to the form. (A good place to do it is just over the poem, using the dedication option.)

Good luck in the contest!

Amen to this. If I was really hungry maybe but it'd have to come to that. A most fabulous entry to the competition being held. Unique...

Thanks. Glad you liked this 'funny but not funny' poem. I've tried sushi twice, and that was enough - no more, ever.
Appreciate your thoughts. Cheers ... ;)

I am not myself. I know people who are. I want to ask them how can you eat this stuff. Excellent piece. The photo is a good match.

Good luck in the contest,

Lynn

Thanks. It's not only yucky but expensive stuff. I tried it twice a long time ago and that was enough ... no more.
Appreciate your thoughts. Cheers ... ;o)

Personally, I enjoy Sushi. I loved your entry into the "Not funny but funny" contest, nonetheless. It is a good 5-7-5 poem. Like the last line too much. I wish you good luck in the contest. God bless and hugs, Susanne

Agreed. Sushi is not for me either. You said it all very well. It must be cooked properly at all times. Seafood is not my favorite choice anyway.

I assume that many--maybe even most--FanStory contributors love sushi. I, like you, find it revolting.
Great final line says it all!

This is a perfect entry for the Not Funny But Funny contest. I'm with you! I hate sushi. It may taste ok, (not to me though) but I would worry of picking up some horrible illness from eating raw fish. Just the mere thought of it makes me quiver and gag!

Your 5-7-5 poem says it all. Good alliteration with "sushi's for seagulls". It might be fit for seagulls, but for human consumption? Hmmmm ? :)

Best wishes for the contest. This was a great 5-7-5!

This is good. You got a laugh out of me with the "sushi's for seagulls" line. That's a great way to end this short little poem.

Your poem captures how I feel perfectly. I can't imagine putting raw fish in my mouth. Gross. As for the seagull line, that was a lol material. Great job. Good luck in the contest. Gretchen
