Yikes! You scared me--I haven't voted yet. There is more time because I was late with setting the poll up, and I wanted to run it for 5 days.
I have the Poll ending on June 13 at 10:54 PM GMT.

My apologies, I'm tired and the brain is on half power ...I had it in my head that it was over at midnight which is either a sign I'm ahead of things, or need to go to bed (the smart money is on the latter
Sorry

Votes went to Retirement Gift & The Lament of the Frustrated Reader of Science Fiction and Fantasy (With Apologies to Creedence Clearwater Revival)

Ironically, Good Luck Will Rub Off was a close third.
