Today I had a problem
when I tried to make my bed.
My blankets and my comforter 
got wrapped around my head.

I went to fluff the pillows
but the pillow cover tore,
and feathers flew all over 
as I stumbled 'round the floor.

I accidentally grabbed the sheets 
and pulled them as I fell.
I have to say, it seems 
my day's not starting off too well.

I tripped upon a pillowcase 
and landed in a heap.
Good grief! That's it! I'm staying here
and going back to sleep!
