PILLOW TALK

PILLOW TALK

If I were the pillow
you sleep on each night
I’d hide under the bed
and out of your sight.
~
You go to bed smiling,
a glint in your eye,
if that pillow could talk
it surely would cry.
~
You could gently fluff it
and make it fatter
but you choose to pound it,
making it flatter.
~
If you have a bad day
and things don’t go right,
you talk to that pillow
about half the night.
~
If someone makes you mad,
the pillow you fight,
pounding out its feathers,
the room is a sight.
~
Tonight you lost at cards,
when you played Nillo
I’d take a real long trip,
if I were a pillow.

Note: Nillo is a variation on the card game of 500
