We had our 25th Anniversary last October, which to me anyway, sounds like a huge achievement. There are many factors at work here, but one of them might be these darn blanket fairies, because in all this time, I haven't blamed husband for stealing my section of the covers. Actually, I finally said something, for the first time, and then I drew the silly picture and wrote the sillier poem. After all, how can I wake up with icicle toes and not complain?
Blanket Fairies
The darkest part
of winter,
we’ve the
thickest blanket on the bed,
they sneak inside
our home,
since the year we
were wed.
And though they
never fail
to toss things
around.
It seems quite
unusual,
they never make a
sound.
Though we shiver,
our toes are
cold,
we reach for each
other,
a true love to
hold.
One night before
they go,
after thirty
years or so,
maybe we’ll open
our eyes and catch them,
pushing our
covers to the floor.

Have
you had visits from the blanket fairies this winter?
My sheets and blankets inevitably end up in disarray overnight, with half of everything yanked out. I've never chalked it up to blanket fairies! :)
ReplyDeleteThey are good at what they do. Lol
DeleteCreatively done, Eve!
ReplyDeleteThank you. Wish my drawing skills were better!
DeleteCute and so true

That happens to us too. I know the culprit in my house. My wife pushes the blankets off of her and the whole shebang cascades to the floor like a waterfall. She says I'm stealing them to my side. Maybe, but I think my theory is the right one.

Tossing It Out
I've been forced to wear socks in bed ...darn Blanket Fairies!
ReplyDeleteCute, but, no, my covers stay firmly in place. In fact, all I have to do is replace my pillow and pull the blankets and quilt up.
ReplyDeleteThis fairies are cute- but luckily they don't steal my covers. :)
