PYJAMAS
Mileage, sixty years.
A birthday gift:
flannel pyjamas.
The design:
A pink cat,
Winking;
Only wearing
A red bonnet
and a blue ribbon.
Cuddle up
With me,
Says the print.
A promise
To get warm
And snug.
Pyjamas are not
just for children,
you know.
Sex-age-narian.
Sex and age,
obviously.
Latin sex means
English six.
Or sixty.
Sixty,
The age
Of flannel pyjamas.
