Carpets of Hardwood

I love the feel of carpet soft and

Plush between my toes,

Cushioning and cradling my bare feet

In its tender arms.

Smoother than a feline’s fur to

Soothe my weary bones.

More welcome than the distant shores

Of South Seas island charms.

But you seem to want to give me

Hardwood carpets, nothing more.

Plagued by nail heads, warped

Uneven, tripping shards of oak.

Why do I deserve such mental anguish?

Silent torture? This

Harsh hardscrabble treatment

Is a cruel uneven joke.

You need to lighten up your act,

Need to take a break.

This vile pathetic treatment

Would cause any heart to ache.
