where the magic happens.


la poem de mattress
It ain't no bed of roses
we've heard that phrase before.
A mattress decomposes
in a thousand years or more.

Back in our warehouse
we deconstruct the beds,
that aren't fit for children
to sleep or lay their heads.

There are things within a mattress
like metal, foam, and wood.
All of these can be recycled
for the planet's greater good.

From sixty mattresses in one day
that we broke down and paired,
thirteen hundred cubic feet
of landfill space was spared.

On that old bed of yours
too many nights you've laid.
Donate it to The Mustard Seed
where the real magic's made.

Lo Lesson #5: Its always a good idea to write a cheesy poem. Not only will you find it easier to free-style in your next rap battle but you will also get your point across in an interesting way. A poem can make almost any situation more fun if you obey the following rules:

-Do not quit your job by writing your boss a poem.
-Do not write "Exams are no fun. BAM, I'm done" on your mid-term.
-Do not write obscene poems on bathroom stalls...its just weird.
-Do not get offended when your cat doesn't respond to your poetry.
-Do not get offended when people don't respond to your cat poetry.

Well here is one last hoorah before I go:
This blog was random-its true
but if you donate your mattress
we have a present for you!
A gift so unique,
you can't buy it in stores
I will write you a poem
that you may call yours!

Don't like my skills? We'll still take your old mattress!
