Senryu (17-syllabled witty and humorous poem)
Sukippu (botabako) ga agaru ga goto ni yama wa koe.
The refuse heap grew larger and larger every time the skip climbed it.

Pyramid-shaped refuse heaps appeared in the Showa era (1926-1989). In pits with lots of depressions, miners filled them with refuse to make them flat.
