• A Russian woman
    Is wearing a soothing yellow sundress
    With pink and white flowers

    She has on a floury apron
    And is violently swinging around
    A wooden rolling pin

    How much do you want
    To bet she has never
    Heard of “e-mail”

    He grinned
    I will bet you
    Fifty cents

    I bet a pencil,
    Some headphones,
    Shoelaces,

    AND a crumpled up
    Math assignment
    She waged

    His final bet
    Was a stale cracker
    And two used tissues
