I'd consider another form that would allow you to make stronger line breaks. I'm not sure focusing on Senryu is helping.

If you lengthen it just slightly to make it into just a short poem, then you could include an image/simile/metaphor. I think that would help.

Yes, it is:  the moral man will neither fool around, cat around, nor divorce.  In the present age, tried to approach that assertion obliquely - sort of a double negative.  The short form is apparently too oblique; imagery is a good suggestion.  Cafeteria or... does anyone remember how an automat (restaurant) works?
