Chuck`s poem gets an award!

One of my poems on this blog called $2.99 Crossword Puzzle Book won a
3rd place finish in the Adult Division of the Kossuth Garden Of Poets Poetry Contest

way done.

$2.99 Crossword Puzzle Book

Will you buy me a $2.99 crossword puzzle book
I have to get my brain going

In the dollar puzzle books I am 62% smart
