Hiding In Bed

I don’t want a shower, I don’t want a bath,
I don’t care if the world thinks I’m crazy or daft
I don’t want to go out, it’s simple but true
I just want to stay in my bed – with you.

I don’t need to get dressed , I like my pyjamas
I’m happy to only eat cake and bananas
I don’t need excitement - the thing I like most
Is the three of us staying in bed, eating toast.

I don’t care if it’s morning, or mid-afternoon
I don’t care if it’s August , or April, or June
I don’t care if it’s dark, I don’t care if it’s light
I don’t care if it’s six or half past midnight.

I don’t like it out there, so I’m staying in here 
Where no-one can see me, and no-one can hear.
I will pull the covers right over my head
And never, never, get out of this bed.

Shan, wow, this is the way I feel right now, ((but without the secondary person)) Anyways, after 3 days, I have to move...Love this poem!!! This is an automatic favorite poem. However, when hiding in bed, I can't stand others looking for me, I don't care if they think I have a social issue.... So na, All I want to do it ditch the world, and hide all alone. SO I am loving this poem without the (WITH YOU) part... a perfect 7... Love Linda
