Premiere Contest WinnerPyjamas Instead

The day you begin to feel the cold,
Is the day you are starting to get old.

I couldn't bear anything on my feet,
But now I wear socks in bed and cover them with a sheet.

I always went naked to bed,
But now I wear pajamas instead.

"That line about the cold feet hits way too close to home! I used to hate having anything on my feet at night. Now, aging has caught up to me, and my feet have their own bedtime dress code. It’s funny how getting older secretly turns us all into the sock-wearing pajama squad!" Congratulations on the win!
