Perchance To Sleep

My husband’s back is aching And so what he thinks will fix it Is to buy a brand-new mattress, Though at first I tried to nix it. Ours is really not quite old enough To so dissatisfy And we differ on the type If we decided, thus, to buy. Once we tried the TempurPedic And he fell asleep much faster, Feeling rested when he woke But as for me – a true disaster. I spent hours toss and turning, Stealing glances at the clock For to me, that mattress felt Like I was lying on a rock. So today, we placed an order For a mattress sold online, One supposed to grant us comfort While it benefits the spine. I reluctantly conceded Though my skepticism’s deep, But we’ll find out soon enough If we’ll both get a good night’s sleep.
