The nightgown.

dianejean57 1957 (Swansea, MA)



The nightgown.

A long time ago, we had a pass. But we lost it very fast. So I made you my friend. We did not have to pretend. So we spent the weekend in your bed. Then I looked out the window, and someone was standing by your shed. He came by to borrow your sled. He gathered all the kids in town, and they went sledding all around. That made me happy and sound. So I got up and looked all around, and there you were in your nightgown. Well, that made me hot, so you know where we ended up.
