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
