Poem and Drawing

[Pogue Mahone]

What do folks think of this one?

I think someone's been practicing Bukowski's signature.

If that's a Buk poem then it's the first time I´ve seen an undated hand written one on a piece of paper with holes in it. It would have been more believable if the person who made it had done so inside a Buk book. :D

The ALL CAPS text is close, the stars aren't far off, the dog is a bit too crooked upwards and the sig is fairly close up until a certain point. Not accusing anyone of anything, but I wouldn't buy this for more than $0.01. We've agreed to avoid pointing out specifics of possible forgeries, so PM me if you want details (and I know you).

Everything is legitimate, except the poem. It goes:

FIND THE DOG
YOU LOVE.
AND LET IT
BITE YOU.

No stars mentioned in the original.

The ALL CAPS text is close...

I beg to differ. Every bit of this thing is wrong. Way wrong.

They can practice the signature all they want, but they always miss the big picture.

Though someone will probably buy it.

I guess what I meant was that it's not the worst I've ever seen.

Yeah, what MJP said... so obvious yet always missed.
