My selected entry from page 37 of the anthology…
Hi guys. My name is Frankie
I’m a furry Cavoodle
The owner of Ivor
You may know him
He pretends to be a poet
I let him stay at my house
And even allow him to sleep on my bed
He’s bald, so he doesn’t shed hair
Yes, I know
That’s generous and kind of me
Having said that
In a disorganized manner
“I do not own much
I do not owe much
I share what I have
I have hope and love” **
My home is his home
If he takes me for walkies
Three times a day
** I borrowed these lines from Ivor’s poem, ‘I, Can Breathe’

This is so fun! Frankie, you are most kind and generous. Don’t ever forget to keep reminding Ivor of that fact. Otherwise–no more walks for him!
