Go on, you deserve it,
You’ve had a stressful night,
Have a day in the duvet,
And perhaps a pillow-fight!
But if you do, be careful,
As feathers may catch your eye
And then the day will spoil,
Ruined with a gloomy sigh.
Go on, you deserve it,
Wrap yourself up tight,
Smother yourself in comfort,
Like in clouds of blissful delight;
A warm, pleasant feeling
Will leave you all aglow
As you bury your busy head
In the softest white pillow.
Don’t worry about the home,
Leave the chores for another day,
No point in getting more anxious
Frayed nerves we must allay
So, keep inside that cocoon
Of comfort, relish every minute,
Enjoy a day in the duvet
Go on, you deserve it…
It's warm beneath this duvet.
Outside it's cold and grey.
I wish I could roll over
And stay in bed today.
There's things I should be doing,
But if you'd let me choose
I'd stay beneath this duvet
And keep on pressing snooze
