Bed
Bed: it’s where I go to sleep;
yet lay there counting lots of sheep,
then sheep, more sheep, and yet more sheep;
until… I dream, my dreams are deep,
or I’m a Mary Poppins’ chimney sweep;
sometimes, in dreams,
I swim the deep,
or buy a castle, mine to keep;
fly a spaceship, ‘Receiving… beep!’
Bed: also for other things,
which things to myself I’ll keep.
