I just can’t wait to get in bed tonight!
To snuggle up with the best company:
My radio, tuned in to ‘Up All Night’
Left on as I drop off, and my teddy,
Called Peter, who was introduced to me
When I was five. How many nights we’ve spent!
He came with me to university
And watched as girlfriends came but mostly went,
Like some stern grandfather, his eyebrow bent
In disapproval. He was out of sight
For many years, laid in a box with the
Mementoes of my childhood. He was meant
For further service, with his eyes as bright
As buttons. (They ARE buttons. Irony!)
