Sleeping Dare


It was on a dare you see

to climb that wall

cut through the briars.

And that was just the beginning

 

The place was filled

with dust galore.

The young man had

allergies, you know.

 

But pride made him go

despite all the grit.

He made his way

to the top of that tower.

 

Just as his friends said 

a girl lay asleep.

He gathered his courage

he took the leap.

 

A quick peck on her lips

that's all he could do

before he raced from the room

and away from her breath.

 

The princess woke up

startled of course.

Wouldn't you be?

If someone kissed you

 

On a dare?
