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
