Exotic Bed
I slept on a balloon tonight
One bed too few, a novel sight
Company’s come to my delight
So I slept on a balloon tonight
I was the host in years gone past
Now my children prepare repast
They welcome me as their guest
My retirement years now my quest
Grandchildren live all over the nation
Knitting family’s firm foundation
Unaware that their recreation
Increases elders’ anticipation
So I slept on a balloon tonight
Call it air mattress to lessen strife
Little feet came without invite
To share my balloon tonight
