A better night’s sleep, here is my old bed
With the duvet pulled back to let air in
Soon to be replaced at long last, thank God
This creaky wooden piece of shit has been
A nightmare since I moved in here fourteen
Years ago. When I move the neighbours hear -
I’m convinced of it! It looks like Britain -
The shape of the orange duvet cover -
So better night, British duvet: better
Britain, that’s why that title’s at the head
It has no deep political meaning
I did wake up though about a quarter
Past three, but straight away I decided
To read, enjoyed it, then back to sleeping!
