I enjoyed it.

Bravo… fascinating Americana.
Kakekotoba, (word play as called in Japanese) is the basis of many Japanese short form poems, for both hokku and haiku, but, especially in senryu.
Learning that Al Pizzarelli’s interest in puns fueled his interest in haiku made me remember my interest in haiku also was sparked by interests in word play.
