“It’s obvious, I have to say,
My face adorns the book…
And there are few who can resist
This cheeky canine look.”
“But just a mo,” the writer said,
“I think the book is mine…”
“Without my inspiration
Do you really think you’d shine?”
“You have a point,” the writer said,
“My Muse is black and furry.
But still…my book…I’m fairly sure…”
“That ownership is blurry…
You know the score,” the dog replied,
“Just who owns who’s debated.”
She grinned and threw a tennis ball,
“This ‘master’ thing’s belated.”
The writer fetched the ball as bid,
“Yes, you’re the boss, it’s true,
And reaching the bestseller list
Is all because of you.”
“It won’t take much,” the small dog said,
“To make me number one…
Another half a dozen sales
And then the job is done.”
The writer sighed, picked up her pen
And settled to her task…
The small dog grinned as she complied
“It couldn’t hurt to ask…”
“Laughter Lines” is number 31 on Amazon in its category in Books… the small dog would love to see it climb the charts…
“Laughter Lines – Life from the Tail End”
Available from Amazon UK, Amazon.com and worldwide in Paperback and for Kindle.
Laughter Lines:
Life from the Tail End
Sue Vincent
Take a life with a small dog in tow, add a dash of red hair dye, a selection of crumbling biscuits and a dash of fun… The result is a recipe for laughter.

Thank you… I’m afraid the small dog takes over the blog regularly. She seems to think that just because she is the one who gets all the fan mail, she can do as she pleases… 😉
