Carolyn Devonshire Poet Dizain

Creeping Naked

Wearing clothes to bed simply makes no sense
I must float freely on my waterbed
But when I wake in the morning, I’m tense
Wrinkles from the sheets on my skin imbed
Rolling out of bed, I lower my head
All of my windows and blinds are open
Crawling, I fear neighbors might see butt skin
A snake, I slither in my birthday suit
Trying to avoid boob sighting again
And the tattoo that sits on my “patoot”

I made a mistake reaching for my robe
The rack fell down hard, landing on me
Here I lay thinking my world’s out of whack
I struggle but there’s no way to get free
My Life Alert bracelet rang out quickly
No success grabbing a sheet from the bed
The rescuers arrived in warp-speed time
To find a nude lady well past her prime
Face down, the tattoo was now in full view
Explaining what happened, I’d quite a time

Tony Mccann April 29, 2012 at 11:04 PM Well, Carolyn, reading your comments on people's comments, I see you really enjoy going to bed nude. All good. Your exposé (uh, pardon the pun, hehe) was well written with feeling. Sleeping naked would be rather refreshing, so, you might wanna try what I do. Naturally, though, my shades are down, curtains closed. After a good night's rest, upon waking, a glorious orchestra fills my head and bedroom. Then I spring out of bed, twirling, then from the top of my lungs, I bellow, "The hills are alive with the sound of music...la la la" Then its off to start my day. Eh, of course you can use any uplifting chorus. I'm more of a 'beating of the chest', "Tarzan yell" man, myself. Hehe

Black Eyed Susan April 24, 2012 at 9:56 AM Is this a true story? I sure hope not! how embarassing! But a very creative take on the contest. Enjoyed :)

Joyce Johnson April 24, 2012 at 9:54 AM Oh how funny Carolyn. Reminds me of one of my trips when I was rooming with a rather large lady. She fell as she was showering in the bath tub and could not get up. No way could I budge her. I had to call for help and here came a couple of strong men. I threw her a robe and got out of their way.
