My mom and I make a bet
When the first snowfall will stick.
I won the five-bucks
Last year, on Thanksgiving morning;
A five-dollar-bill left right there, on my chair,
In my room, making for an extra-great
Thanksgiving. “So, we both lost”
This year, my mom choosing
“My Lucky Day”, and me,
The day after. But the snow stuck
This year; early November.
