Midnight Swim

One thing my wife and I
Used to do was go to a
Private lake at midnight
And go for a cool, relaxing
Swim. It was so peaceful
Under the moonlight. We
Don’t do it anymore, but
The memories remain of
The days of youth.

Mansion

The young couple had just
Gotten married and set
Out on that inevitable
Next step of finding a
Place to live. They both
Worked but didn’t make
That much money. They
Looked at houses in their
Price range and all were
Fairly humble dwellings.
But the new husband said
Whatever we buy and I
Carry you over the threshold
Over will be a mansion.
