倉賀野上四・長寿会「お知らせ版」より

　私の家の前は倉賀野上四地区の集会所ですから、その前に掲示板があります。本日、拝見したら、長寿会のお知らせ版に「シルバー川柳」が掲載されてましたので、ご紹介いたします。

　しかし、川柳という日本的な味わいを英文にするには難しいです。頑張ってみます。

Dear my friends abroad
　There is a bulletin board in front of my garden because it is the meeting place of Kuragano-Kami-4 district. When I saw it today, "Silver Senryu" that means a witty epigrammatic Japanese poem containing 17 syllables for the elderly was published in the announcement version of the aged association, so I would like to introduce it for you.

　However, it is difficult for me to translate the Japanese taste of senryu into English. I'll try to do my best.

〇 If people come to visit me in droves, it's about time to finish my life.
〇 Wealthy people will eventually increase their relatives.
〇 The daughter in law asked me what kind of soup stock about Naniwabushi that means a Japanese traditional story accompanied with samisen instrument, in this case bushi means stock.
〇 The intimate boyfriend that made my heart flutter is now just an old man.
〇 If hanging a sash, even wandering will become a patrol.
