On Our Beds

Where we sleep there might be quilts
Or comforters or spreads
Or blankets made in varied styles
To warm us in our beds.

Some might prefer a cashmere throw
Or one hand-knit in wool,
While others cozy up to down
And can’t resist its pull.

A cotton blanket, or velour, 
Keeps many feeling snug,
While weighted covers, loved by few,
In most evoke a shrug.

A coverlet atop a bed
Will make it look complete,
Yet lots of sleepers get along
With just an unlined sheet.

Still, no matter what your preference,
Any cover is okay,
But be careful that your partner
Doesn’t tug it all away!

Ohmine like to tug! LOL! The summer sheet we are using now is comfy but loves to cling and we find our end to end by feeling for the top binding. It is quite the feat in the dark. No one wants to turn on the lights and if my side pillow falls on the floor, forget it. Love your write..we can all relate if we are sharing a bed. Hugs ~ Kim
