No Ordinary Bed

An ode to my bed

You lay me down and soothe me to sleep

A supportive pillow keeps my neck from creaking

You stay still and sturdy so I can sleep soundly

Your only complaint is when you creak and groan

But your complaints are muted by pleasing moans

I take you for granted and test your resolve

But you’re always there for me, nurturing my dreams

I clean you occasionally and dress you in sheets

But we both know it’s rare and more of a treat

You’re always there for me, no matter what

Keeping me warm when the nights turn cold

Put up with the tossing and turning when it’s hot

You soothe me when I’m sick

And don’t complain about the prodding of my ....

Because when I have company, I wobble your wood

I know you would cheer for me if you could

You don’t even cringe or shake at the sounds my butt makes

Ask no questions when you suddenly vibrate

You love and support me in every state, making me feel safe

I cuddle under your covers and feel less alone

You are always the foundation of every home
