Poem (Illustrated) - Single Bed

Single Bed

I like a single bed

It’s good enough for me

It holds a single dreamer

It’s not for two or three

I like a single bed

It’s narrow and austere

But sometimes falling out

Is something that I fear

Bed, bed

My single bed

The very best place

To lay down my head.

I like a single bed

It’s sheets are rather small

When I need to buy them

I find them at the mall.

I like a single bed

I fit in cozily

It’s easy to climb out of

When I have to pee.

Bed, bed

My single bed

The very best place

To lay down my head.

I like a single bed

I fit from side to side

In a space so tiny

Nothing else can hide.

I like a single bed

It suits the childlike me

Some nights it’s a sailboat

Tossing on the sea.

Bed, bed

My single bed

The very best place

To lay down my head.

I like a single bed

It’s big enough to hold

A single fluffy pillow

And comforters untold.

I like a single bed

It deserves an applaud

There’s naught I hold against it

Does this make me odd?
