Just a bit of fun

This is just a bit of fun I was having on my Anagram site.
The challange was to anagram to following quote into something else about human nature.
"Human beings, who are almost unique in having the ability to learn from the experience of others, are also remarkable for their apparent disinclination to do so"
I came up with:
3 senryu
_____
after marriage vow --
homosexual ministers
do the fandango?
lies in a chamber --
quotable politician
is he in kennel?
unholy tenet --
arabian terrorist
hero of prophet?
Cheers,

Neil,
Hello! I was missing you and glad to see you. I must tell you your photo in the hello is so friendly, I like it and it makes me smile. That smiling face comes to mind when I see your name. But oh... Now a crit.
Your focus is so admirable. It encourages me to try, yet... My feet drag. I liked the politican in the kennel. Funny.
All of them are slendid. What balance you have !
Nice to read you,
Suzanne

Thanks for such a lovely welcome back Suzanne!
Glad you liked this little bit of nonsense.
Been too busy to write much recently, but hoping to be back on track soon.
Cheers,

Hi Nar,
No. 1 doesn't offer me much illumination on human nature - it's an amusing image though!
I do very much like no. 2 and no. 3. Especially no. 2. Clever.

Great trio of Senryu, Neil. I enjoyed 1 and 2 the most.
Clever write.

Cheers, Mic.
Having to create these as an anagram obviously limits what I can do, but I'm glad you liked them
Aru,
Praise from a master of the short form - thanks very much, friend.

Number one is quite topical if you have been following the latest furore in Aberdeen.
