XIN NIAN QUAI LE (Senryu)

Fools like the monkey
business is always busy,
since time is money.

Our fires grow cold
years weigh heavy on our bones
no gold can keep warm.

Ka the lonesome king,
possesses all but nothing,
since time is money.

Thank you again. peace.
Very nice and the perfect read for me. I had Lunar New Years dinner last night and of course, today, we will be back for the daily Lunar New Years meal.

I did a Tanka a few days ago for Lunar New Years. Your work is very well done.
