Who cares what size bed is best <br />when all you want is a place to sleep and rest. <br />A mattress that's comfy and without frills. <br />A mattress that can soak away your backache and ills. <br />With a pillow or two to support one's head <br />and a duvet cover to warm you when in bed. <br />Though most will give you a pleasant night <br />unless you wake up horrified and feel locked in tight. <br />Two mattresses laid side by side and covered in a soft white sheet, <br />perfect, I thought, so quickly climbed in to bed with both feet. <br />As I began to move around this way and that, <br />I became aware that there was an enormous crack. <br />In the middle, and there next to me <br />a long deep hole where one shouldn't be. <br />I've slept in that bed and every inch I know <br />so surprised, that every time I moved, a cavernous gap would show. <br />I turned to see what was there <br />only to be pulled in towards some monstrous lair. <br />I tried to move but could not escape <br />and any attempt was now far too late. <br />As I tried to grab the sides of the sheet <br />I heard a voice say, 'Darling, stop fidgeting and go back to sleep'.<br /><br />JJ Evendon<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/the-mattress/
