A Pig Kissing Contest?
A pig kissing contest? Absurd!
Whoever heard
of such disgrace?
I will not try to kiss his face.
Forget the dough.
I will not go
to kiss a Poland China mug.
I am too smug.
Oh, dear! Oh, me!
It is beneath my dignity
to do a jig
and kiss a pig.

Maybe the shop will help revitalize our “downtown.”

I would not enter the pig kissing contest either, but I would watch those who did enter. Very nice pictures with this one.

Thank you. That actually happened once at the fair when our mayor was a lady! A little piglet, she kissed, and the picture was in the paper. 🙂 So that’s my “true sentence! 🙂

Love the photo of your books in the midst of a country store. So homey and unique. Glad you got good publicity. Also enjoyed your poem and your haiku.

Thank you, Patricia. I did sell and sign one novel and one children’s book. All in all, it was fun. They keep local authors’ books there for sale, and have sold some of mine. And the good part is that so far they don’t charge a commission on our books.

Yes. Definitely. It’s a new shop. Sells local crafts. They also have a coffee shop in the back and they serve soups at lunch. They are trying to interest musicians to perform now and then. Maybe I should suggest a poetry reading, as well.
