I sink into my lovely bed
Soft pillows welcome tired head
The firm mattress gives me support
Where I promote constructive thoughts
Here I can stretch, wiggle my toes
Rotate my head, and rub my nose
My desk and chair it must be said
Are great but can't compete with bed
One day you're born, sick, well, or dead
Meanwhile, enjoy breakfast in bed
A new mattress, but keep the frame
So your old bed will look the same
Sort out ideas, plan new schemes
With confidence realise dreams
Electric blankets off and on
Night clothes worn, seams torn, colours run
Are sheets designed to cause a fight?
Pulled to the left and then the right
Although tucked in with all your might
Refuse to stay fixed all the night
Electric levers raise the foot
I lift my legs and exercise
One day we'll do it with AI
By voice, I hope no seeing eye
The bedroom door can open wide
Or hide the precious things inside
The window, curtains, dress on door
Bookshelf, lampshade, shoes, carpet floor
The duvet warm where you can hide
The naughty thoughts you keep inside
A refuge for coughs, from the cold
Haven for young couples, and old
A place to lay small girls or boys
Hug mum then snuggle with soft toys
Enjoy deep sleep then leap refreshed
To see day, dress and be your best.
