But the base prize was 30 pounds instead of 25, so it's like everyone got an extra fiver, but Catherine got an extra extra fiver.
I knew my chances had faded when I saw Marion's poem, and after Catherine showed up the deal was sealed. And Bazza, of course, owns the place.
But I won't be bitter. They couldn't have given top honors to a better poet, even if all other poets had entered. And Marion nailed it. So I'll continue to direct my anger at Webster.
