Snap! 🫰Bravo, D.J.!
Hehehe! 😄 My phrase used to be “I’d like to keep that private if that’s alright!” Hah.
God knows how many noses I've found in my business 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 Loved your Senryu!
Because "Mind your own damn business" would have been too many syllables.
😍😍 many instances.
I agree with Cindy. Oh, and great poem. You know the drill. DD.
Yes, indeed!
Privacy is a long sought after treasure.
True in some contexts, but isn't there also a cost? For example, this is how many domestic abusers get away with their violence-- because neighbors are just minding their own business.
