| Apologies for taking so long to post the poll. I've had no electricity due to more work getting done in the house. It's that time of the month again when we all have to decide which one of our wonderful writers gets a visit from the boys bearing gifts. We have ten stories, songs, and poems in our varied quiver for you to choose from, so get ready to Vote. I'll be polling Distant Drum's entry as it's not the first time I've added in a late one, so I'm trying to be fair. Don't forget to finish up commenting before moving onto June's stories as comments are the only thanks our writers get.
