Cold Feet And Other Objects..... Poem by karen sinclair

Cold Feet And Other Objects.....

Rating: 4.7


Huddled within a blanket
In a camping chair
Thats not quite right
Blinds down to shade the sleeping
Concerned over my failing sight

Gazing with disgust that HE over there
Stole my bloody bed!
Nose dripping with the draught dear
Which dances around my head

Feet as cold a kippers
Swaddled to avoid the floor
Laminates quite nice dear!
But bloody cold slips beneath the door

I'll brave china tiles for a tea dear
Exiting the blankets charm
Goosebumps, goose stepping
Rubbing my chilly arms

Head upstairs on itchy carpet
As the privvys in urgent need
It must be pretty cold dear
Five times ive already wee'd

Latch up and enter in dear
Why are bathrooms so coldly tiled
But wait! ive entered feet heaven
Sumptuously they are beguiled

Ahhhh....
Memory foam mat
I think its you that i do so adore
I seem to remember you made me smile
At least five times before

I think i should just stay seated
No need to lift my feet
Cold feet no longer an issue
Nay.... just a cold
Toilet seat

The use of repetition 'dear' in an accusing or scolding or resolute and bedraggled manner adds distinctly to the narrators displeasure. The frank need to pee and dread turned to victory and pleasurable comfort brought the piece nicely to its conclusion while the last line brilliant and humorously proves, you cannot have it all. Ah to dream. Reminds me of Liza Doolittle and her desires for security as creature comforts.

You made me laugh...in the office. If you think the toilet seat is cold, try the x-ray plate. A well written poem.

A ribald romp to the privy and then the seat was icy.Delightfully funny to me, maybe not so for you
