Ode To My Sleeping Pad

 

Oh sleeping pad

The way you give me such comfort

The way you make me feel when I lie down

The way you hold my back 

The way you balance me while I sleep

The way you give me such a good night’s sleep

Oh sleeping pad

 

Oh sleeping pad

How cute you roll into your bag

How small you fit into my back pack

How you leave room for my other items in my pack

Oh sleeping pad

 

Oh sleeping pad

You are so easy to inflate with only a few breaths

You deceive us by how large you look when you are deflated

You deflate and roll very small but your long  enough for someone to sleep on

Oh sleeping pad

 

Oh sleeping pad

Sleeping pad, you get such hate

Sleeping pad, ignore my teammates comments on how loud and crunchy your plastic is 

Sleeping pad, your perfect just the way you are

Sleeping pad, I wouldn’t trade you even for Molly’s sleeping pad. 

Oh sleeping pad, how I love you

Oh sleeping pad

Oh sleeping pad

 

 

Quick insiders information on why I wrote this. . . I absolutely love my sleeping pad. It’s so comfy. I like bragging about it but sometimes when people are near me when I’m asleep they can hear how loud my sleeping pad is and they can easily get annoyed by how loud it is. But haters gonna hate, I still love it and wouldn’t trade it for Molly’s big ole sleeping pad. Which in context, she had let me use her sleeping pad during India debrief where we were in a hotel room and I slept on the floor using my sleeping pad and my roommates couldn’t stand the noise and Molly offered her sleeping pad for me to sleep on. Now I’m not gonna give up my sleeping pad at all but her sleeping pad is so comfy and quiet. Only downfall is that hers is huge and bulky. So there is my poem. If your a poem person and this isn’t the correct name for the type of poem then your welcome to correct me.

 

Hope you liked my poem!!
