My Fat Dog: The Book

Time for a new contest!

And The Winner Is...

Robert Lublin!

With this poem:

Each morning I’m awoken by Kate

A cat that I’m learning to hate

With nary a noise

Just avoirdupois

She crushes me under her weight

--Robert Lublin

This poem won, hands down, in both cat and dog categories, with its combination of wit and brevity..not to mention its use of the word avoirdupois. Robert, you'll be getting signed copies of both books. And good luck with Kate!

We Have A Poetry Winner!

And the result will amaze and astonish you...later today.
