How did you get so long?
Were you washed with a special dergent?
Or given a pull and twist washing?
I have shrunken a bit.
Well, any way I am an old mattress,
While you are a fine carpet.
Tried so many times I have,
Yet I couldn’t grow an inch longer.
And yet you have grown nearly three inches long ,
And you are now more strong.
But my friend, dearest carpet,
Whether you grow long or short,
Whether you lose your fibres or not,
I shall remain your friend,
Always and forever,
And it’s my firm belief,
That you too shall remain my bestie,
Without any condition,
As best friends do,
So shall us.
Adios!
Before You Travel.
