Night Sweats

Night Sweats

Tucked up in my nice warm bed, shrouded by the night,
Feather duvet, fluffy pillow, sleepy eyes shut tight.
Drifting, dozy, comfy cosy, dropping off to sleep,
Feeling warmer, feeling hotter, what the flaming BLEEP!!!

Internal thermal superheating rising from the core!
Beads of perspiration bursting out of every pore!
Throw the covers, kick the duvet, I need cold air right now!
I need to stem this seismic eruption and I really don’t care how!

So as the night air calms the burning blood within my tubes,
The raging fire subsides as does the river between my boobs!
In fact… it’s getting chilly… as my sweat’s now freezing cold.
Oh, the glamour and sophistication of getting bloody old!!

So I pull the covers up once more and snuggle down again
He’s still soundly sleeping, bloody snoring! …..bloody men!!
Warming up, bit too hot? …or is it in all my head?
This time I’ll keep it simple, just stick my leg out of the bed!
