A bunch of tales I wanted to share with you

A tale I read

The Mother by Lydia Davis

A tale I heard

Sidney Poitier on getting into acting:

“I was looking in the newspaper for a job. On one side it said 'Dishwashers Wanted.' And on the other it said 'Actors Wanted.' I thought, 'Wait a minute.'”

A tale I saw

Home Delivery Man by Robert Garnham

A tale I wrote

There’s a dog in the pub.
There’s a dog in the pub.
Stop what you’re doing,
there’s a dog in the pub.

Its ears like a slipper’s insole.
Its fur the colour of custard.

There’s a dog in the pub.
There’s a dog in the pub.
Stop what you’re doing,
there’s a dog in the pub.

Offer it water. Offer it crisps.
Completely ignore the owner.

There’s a dog in the pub.
There’s a dog in the pub.
Completely ignore the owner.
There’s a dog in the pub.
