Pillow Stealers

Pillow Stealers

“When we are unable

to find tranquility within ourselves,

it is useless to seek it elsewhere.”

Francois de La Rochefoucauld

Strange Bedfellows

Strange bedfellows though we may be,

These dears may snuggle up to me.

Let winter call

And snowflakes fall;

These creatures warm me by degree.

As storms may spin outside our doors,

The gales may spray their sternest roars.

I sleep straight through

With one or two

Pet pillow stealers on all fours.
