Cold toes and cold nose and cold shoulder and just A light quiltful of down from a goose No blankets they perished in mouldering dust No tucking in tight it's all loose Imagine a hearth at the foot of the bed The comfort of glowing hot coals That would have sent heat past your knees to your head First toasting your heels and your soles Once toes are all cosy the rest follows on It's critical starting from there So now that the fires and the blankets are gone You must not have feet that are bare The best socks are soft but not clingy or tight With no PJ bottoms tucked in They have to be free to drift off in the night At the point where a sweat might begin Oh Bedsocks I love you my whole life improved Deep sleeping whole night-times away The world sees the proof of how little I moved Face folded up freshly each day
Love it, Gill! It paints a recognisable picture of how things used to be. I totally agree with you on the necessity and qualities of ideal bed socks! This little poem will stay with me – well done, writer! Xx
Love getting this from you!
