Changing the Sheets

How often someone changes sheets Is really not discussed. It’s certain, though, that everybody Does so, as we must. I knew a woman once whose bed Had fresh sheets every day. Obsessive? Yes, but she preferred To do things her own way. In college dorms, the bedding might Remain in place all term. Imagine all the multitudes of Every type of germ! I once was told of dinner parties Where the food was spread, Instead of on a cloth, upon The sheet from someone’s bed. Most people likely make the switch On laundry day each week, So sheets may well be wrinkled But it’s doubtful that they’ll reek. No matter when you swap the sheets, It’s really up to you, As long as whom you’re sleeping with Approves of when you do.

My husband complains that I change the sheets too often, but I don't ask for help, so he puts up with it. Loved this look at reality!
