Bedspread

On many beds there is a spread
(Or blankets may be used instead)
To cover pillowcase and sheet;
It makes the bedroom nice and neat.

I know not everyone agrees.
In life, there are no guarantees
That what appeals to someone’s taste
Will be by everyone embraced.

For surely many find it strange
To smooth the sheets and rearrange
The pillows and to place on top
What needs removing ‘fore you flop.

To some an unmade bed, I guess,
Is not perceived to be a mess
But rather someplace, it would seem,
All set to delve into a dream.

Yet I would feel a heap of guilt
If daily I’d not lay my quilt
To be peeled back when sleep seems sweet
And in the morning, thus repeat.
