"Warm!!" cries out Fluffy, the newly bought blanket, soft and thick. "I will keep you warm!!"
As he is thrown on the
bed, spread from
corner to corner, every corner of the bed he pledges to keep warm.
In the
chill of the
Winter night, you pull him slightly closer and he joyously assures you, "I will keep you warm."
As winter breaks into Spring you
mumble in your
sleep that perhaps it is a bit
too warm.... But all Fluffy hears is "warm...."
Clearly, Fluffy concludes, you want him to warm you more, and so he will keep you, warmer and warmer.
But Fluffy does not know that his
role passes with the
seasons.
And as the
Springtime takes its full turn, Fluffy finds himself taken from the bed.
He is folded neatly by halves and in quarters until he is a thick, neatly stacked square.
Dropped in the
linen closet atop old folded
sheets, there to stay until Winter's next
bite.
Surveying his new surroundings, Fluffy whispers down to the sheets below, "I will keep you warm."
