MY BLANKET

I have a real nice bed
That I love beyond belief
And a pillow that will talk to me
When I cannot fall asleep.

But the blanket that I have
You will just have to see.
If I pull it up to warm my neck
Then my feet are free.

If I roll to my right
Then my left side is like ice
So I roll back to my left
And my right side pays the price.

After rolling back and forth all night
I finally do get warm.
Then morning comes and I'm wrapped so tight
That I cannot move my arms.

I'll have to talk to Linus
And see what he would do.
The answer that he gave me?
Your blanket must be blue.
