I think you should go to this page in the Writer’s Almanac archive and read today’s poem, called What Happened When Bobby Jack Cockrum Tried To Bring Home A Pit Bulldog or What His Daddy Said To Him that Day, by David Lee.  It’s cool, pretty funny, regardless of what you think about pit bulls.

(Personally, I love dogs – all dogs – and as much as I believe there are no bad ones, I wouldn’t have a pit bull around my little nephew. Sorry, but that’s just life in the real world. When it comes to gambling, I never bet more than I can afford to lose.)

Enjoy the poem.
