Under the Cushions
“Stay at home” leaves time to clean
Parts of home seen and unseen
The couch was there upon my list
Of jobs that I had long-time missed
Beneath the cushions, what surprise
Awaited there before my eyes
Pens and pencils, lady bird,
Paper, leaves and most absurd
In dust and sand were ten dried peas
Were they all carried in by fleas?
Did Tim and I eat supper there
And kiss, so we both dropped a share?
Or did the cleaners just for fun
Put them in there one by one?

Lol. I’m going to have trouble letting go of the mental image I now have of these 10 dried peas under your sofa cushions! 😏
a pea you say beneath your seat
and yet you never knew
a proof that family royalty
we cannot claim anew
For all know well that royal blood
cannot rest well you see
for on no bed could rest
the famous princess and her pea
There is a tradition on my side of the family that we are descended from Robert the Bruce, King of Scotland.
Lovley Sheila!
