The Bet

 

They made this lovely bet

That they could sleep

Naked in the same bed

And not physically touch

One another,

Well, for those of you

Who have not experienced

A Summer Of 42, Somewhere

In Time, One Summer, or

 A Where Or When,

Perhaps it’s wager time,

They said they each won

But I’m not sure if it was

The bet or something else,

For I have never seen such

Mystical, mesmerizing smiles

On the faces of winners before.
