Watch Out!

WATCH OUT!

I bet you'd pass this every day and never really read it!

I'm sure you'd read the message and yet never really heed it!

You'd read, I'm sure, the expected words 'Two for the Price of One',

And only later realise that this was a bit of fun.

But was it? Maybe the writer didn't  know what he had said.

Maybe he had the proper message saved inside his head,

But by reversing 'one' and 'two' his message made no sense.

Was he having a joke with us or was he rather dense?

DECEPTION

A pillow is deceptive;

It looks soft and receptive,

But I've never met a pillow without flaws.

Though each one  looks delicious

I am always quite suspicious

And that, my friends, is not without a cause.

I have tried-out any number

On my way to peaceful slumber,

And each one has been too chilly or too hot.

They have posed all soft and plumpy

But, without fail, they've been lumpy,

And I've simply never found the perfect spot.

I have pummelled and palpated;

I have twisted and gyrated,

I have turned the pillow over several times.

I have had my left ear crumpled

And the bedclothes have been rumpled,

And I've counted many taunting midnight chimes.

A pillow in its wrapping

Makes one think of peaceful napping;

It looks bountiful and virginal and white,

But in use it's far from feathery;

It is often almost leathery

And its downiness is far from a delight.

Yes, pillow advertising

Relies on fantasising;

We think of perfect pillows on our beds.

We think they're white and calming,

But they're really quite alarming!

Wayward pillows just play havoc with our heads.
