Before heading off to vacation, Dave Barry left a challenge to all of his readers: Poetry.com runs a monthly poetry contest. Dave’s challenge was to create poems that incorporate the phrase “the dog ate my mother’s toes”. The entries are both surprisingly good and rather disturbing — go to Poetry.com and search for poets with a first name of “Freemont” to read them.
"My life amounts to no more than one drop in a limitless ocean. Yet what is any ocean, but a multitude of drops?" — David Mitchell
