Tuesday - A Winner

Yesterday my little friend down the road said, "Neighbor Jane! Neighbor Jane! I have a joke for you."

He is five, the knock-knock age.  But this was no knock-knock joke.

"Oh good!  Tell me."

He said, "What did the pig say on a sunny day?"

I thought for a minute, tapped my lips, and finally said, "I give up."

He said, "I'm bacon out here" and laughed and laughed, then said,  "Neighbor Jane I have another one for you."

"Ready."

"What did the hot dog say when he won a game?"

I didn't know the answer to that one either.

"I'm a wiener!  Get it?  He's a wiener."

Well folks, that joke was so very timely, because we have a wiener from the poetry contest.  And it is none other than:

Ande

Sometimes when my eyes are red/

It's because I've been reading a book in bed./

The words aren't sad or the story tick'ling./

It's because my light is flick'ring./

She was quite excited to win.  Thank you for helping to make her dreams come true.
