Party in Bed



Most Beds are Beds

For sleeping or resting,

But the Best beds are much More Interesting!


Not just a white little

Tucked in tight little

Nighty night little

Turn out the light little

Bed


Instead


A Bed for fishing

A Bed for Cats,

A Bed for a Troupe of Acrobats


The Right sort of Bed

If you see what I mean

Is a Bed that might be a

Submarine


Nosing through water

Clear and green,

Silver and glittery

As a sardine.


Or a Jet Propelled Bed

For Visiting Mars

With Mosquito Nest

For the shooting stars....

I love the Sylvia Plath. You are a mom who really experiences joy with your kids. They are lucky to have you.

Cool poem, and totally fitting! It is true, you are the nicest mom, and most patient...
