Blanket Creep

CARRY ON TUESDAY

The words in blue are the opening lines of

Michael Crichton's 'State of Fear'.

BLANKET CREEP!

In the darkness he touched her arm and said

'Every single night when we go to bed

It's the same old story, blanket-creep!

How am I ever going to get to sleep?

Night after night, it cannot be denied,

You roll over and drag things to your side.

You're curled up there, like a cosy little mole,

While I never seems to have the same control!

Look at me now! My right side's all exposed!

You're snoring and I haven't even dozed!

When first we married I was quite prepared

To tolerate the night-life that we shared.

I'd take the direction of the departing sheet

Moving over, and that was rather sweet.

It often resulted in a little cuddle,

Even though the bed was in a muddle.

But now that we've been married thirty years!

I tell you, dear, it's going to end in tears!

Right here and now I give my final warning.

I'm going home to Mother in the morning!'
