THE BET



THE BET

I nearly
Lost 
The bet
I made
With
A friend.

If I
Did lose
It
For sure,
I'd be
Losing
Everything...

I quickly
Began
To scrawl...

The race
Against 
Time,
Lay in
The scribble
Of 
These Lines.

I jotted
Down 
Every thought
Wayward
Or not.

I simply 
Had to
Write
A rhyme
Running 
Against 
Time.

I did
It
Winning the
Bet...
It was
A moment
To be
Extremely 
Glad.

I am
Just that!
