A Raggedy Old Friend
The day at work was rotten
and the news was bad
The someone you hoped would
‘phone was silent
And your call reached only a
plastic voice
Which seemed to disapprove of
you anyway
But when you step out of the
shower
An old friend waits for you –
that ragged old robe
That everyone says you need
to throw away
As if a cottony hug could
ever be disposable
Your bathrobe hugs you like
the friend it is
And tells you that everything
will be okay
