Bedtime

Bedtime
   
 The beginning of the night was hot
I went to bed naked (daredevil.) 
On the other side of the bedroom, I saw a naked man who had a big stomach, large balls and a small .
Since he wasn’t me, I did not bid him good night
 I switched off the light.
During the night it got cold a foretaste of winter
hastily put my pyjamas on.
I had noticed the man in the other room had a long foreskin
at least he was not Jewish.
I made a mental note to ask her who he, was as we sleep
in separate bedrooms on account of my snoring.
I was thinking of Carl Jung, was he a Christian or not
some of what he said was right, our western society is steeped in Christianity 
as is our everyday speech.
Woke up at eight o´clock walked into the kitchen made coffee
thinking, if the man who was not there was still sleeping.
 (Tennyson.)
