I’ve accessed
air springs 'n' adjustables, berths,
bunk beds, box springs, too;
blacked out in
bassinets, chaise longues, cots,
cradles,
Chesterfields (a few).
I’ve dozed on
davenports, divans, duvets, on
daybeds cased in chrome.
And yet the
best
I’ve ever slept in was that
big brass bed back home.
I’ve taken
ease
on ebeds, eastern kings, fulls,
futons, four
four posters;
gouched on
gurneys, The Great Bed of Ware
(who
claims they’ve done be
boasters);
hung in
hot
racks, hammocks, hideaways – on
hassocks filled with foam.
And yet the
best
I’ve ever slept in was that
big brass bed back home.
I’ve hibed in
infant cribs, inflatables (I
jumped, once, on a junior);
knelt on
kinderbeds, kips, Kang bed-stoves (than
which no beds be loonier).
Late I’ve
lounged on lecti geniales
(once the
rage in Rome).
And yet the
best
I’ve ever slept in was that
big brass bed back home.
I’ve made my
Murphys, mooned on manjaas, napped in
nests 'n' narcolits;
Pooped out
on orthopeds 'n' ottomans…and
pallets (they’re the pits!).
I’ve plopped on
platforms, palanquins 'n' pillows
in the Astrodome.
And yet the
best I’ve ever slept in was that
big brass bed back home.
Quiesced
on
queens (with quilts), on roll-aways, on
retros, rope-rung'd racks;
sawn wood on
sofas, stretched on Sertas, Sealys…
snoozed in sleeping sacks;
turned in on
Therma-Rests, twins, upper berths, up-
holst’r’ds stuff'd with brome!
And yet the
best
I’ve ever slept in was that
big brass bed back home.
I’ve valued
Vi-Springs 'n' vibrating beds (I
melt ‘neath Magic Fingers);
waked on
water
beds 'n' Weevacs (déjà
vu of two still lingers).
X, Y,
Z? In none have time I done, though
'round the globe I’ve roamed.
And yet the
best
I’ve ever slept in was that
big brass bed back home.
