Buying a Pillow

When buying a pillow
You have to keep track
If you sleep on your stomach
Your side or your back.

Do you want one with foam 
Like the memory kind
Or pure goose down from Europe,
The best you can find?

Is a zip-off type cover 
A perk that you need
Or one promised to last
Fifteen years guaranteed?

For you really can't tell
As you stand in the store 
Or peruse it online
On a pillow-hunt tour.

So you just take a gander
(Intentional pun!)
And you hope that you've chosen
A comfortable one.

- There is a real difference in quality, Ilene ... 15 years warranty? ... You can switch to a new every year ... always have a new one ... free of charge on the warranty :) - Lovely and soft as my favorite pillow :) - hugs // Anne-Lise :)

You very often come up with original topics, some of which I would never dream of writing about, Ilene! Pleased to see that I'm not the only one who enjoys your lovely smooth flowing style of writing:) Regards // paul

I knew I'd love this. I bought some pillows not long ago, went through all that and spilled some coffee on one!
