Extra Space

Folding chairs and blow-up beds 
Are mostly used my guests,
Providing extra space for bodies’
Temporary rests.

If company is coming,
It’s a plus if you can stash
Accommodations for some friends
Who need a place to crash.

There’s always room for others 
Who are willing, truth be told,
To plop their bones on seats or beds
That will inflate or fold.

I really like the end rhymes here "There’s always room for others Who are willing, truth be told, To plop their bones on seats or beds That will inflate or fold."

You may have coined a new product here, Ilene: 'Plop and Fold.' What say you?! Smiles, Gershon
