After an exhausting day at work, I eagerly lie my restless head down Plunge into my bed and put on my pillowed crown Regardless of how soft and cool my pillow may be The other side of the pillow, keeps beckoning me And be one man, long I thought For the previous night I had forgot How the other side of the pillow feels? What comfort the other side reveals? Although, both sides equally lay I contemplated flipping my pillow the other day For in the morning I awoke in hot sweat And wished I changed my previous bet So tonight, I flipped my pillow over with ease The coolness of the surface came over me like a breeze Oh, how magical this side of the pillow can feel Oh how happy am I? To have made this deal I doubted if I should ever go back Knowing what the other side may lack Somewhere ages and ages hence, I’ll tell this story with a sigh How overnight that side of the pillow grew warm and dry Because in the morning my pillow was wet For I had woken up in a hot sweat
This is an old proverb of how the grass is greener on the other side, but, in my case i used a pillow. If you read close I reference the famed poem by Robert Frost "The road not taken" in several lines throughout this poem i copy lines and incorporate them as my own and try to convey the same message, that regardless of what side of the pillow you choose (road you take) you'll end up in the same place
