And, frankly, bottom.

Board goes in the chifferobe.
Not the armoire, oui?

Wise memory foam mattress.
Memories untold!

Its scholarly books judge me
When I watch TV.

O Captain's bed, my
Captain's bed! Walt Whitman would
Like a word with you.

The Perfect Friday Night

My home theater recliner.
Movie optional.

Suite Dreams


In a bedroom suite,
You’ll have the sweetest dreams. Wait,
No – the suitest dreams!

Like Abbey Road, but chicer.
It’s Shabby-Chic Road.
