From THE BED BOOK

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 SUBMARING

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. ...
