My new pillow affords me a good night's sleep. |
Now I can find sleep—a new pillow affords me plenty of zees I had never thought possible. New Merkel Pillow is soft hippopotamus; it’s bound to give My Pillow all it can handle. I had not slept in a tragic of yesterdays; the time had come for some deep sleep ability. Rapid eye movement was awake making coffee, opting for caffeine fix rather than healthiness. Ah, perfect hippo pillow, log-saw provider; too cute for just children so I took possession. It cuddled my neck, freed those knots from their binding; I fell deeply asleep not remembering when. Sleep had been nightmare of one carnal hurricane; I was wits-end in a traveling carnival tied tight on the track of the Wild Cat Coaster, then feeling the yanking as cars fell in tandem. Yes, an ogre arising as sleep played a joke, those heavy lead chains dragging me like a sadist. Looking as vicious hunger to bite off all heads, being cranked as the shaft old Godzilla had turned. Yet my Merkel arrived to lend peace to unease; down inside, soft surface nap full snout protruding. Cradle-like is the hold for sleep’s pleasure at night, or an afternoon napping if time should permit. Walking as zombie the 3 A.M. eeriness— the mind cried for slumber, physique full of tension. Like war torture interrogation of captive; my old pillow nothing but lumps for the aching. ’Twas Amazon Choice so I ordered as eager, the goal to keep sleepiness from eyes so nettled. Delivery took hold one day as UPS left pillow package I longed for on my front porch. Usurping with ease all the pillows beforehand, it blending so smartly with bedpost and blanket, lending aesthetics to a spartan room markedly, the pillow, Merkel received my full approval. As Merkel delivers the sleep I was missing and all of the night tremors left unattended, and wellness restored like a fresh rain in summer… I drift off in the peace of a comforting dream. 40 Lines Writer’s Cramp Winner 7-18-19 |
