The Private Life of a Marsh Mattress

My Discontent

The Oxford English Dictionary lists a mattress as "a fabric case filled with soft, firm, or springy material used for sleeping on".

Well, I floopily disagree.

We're more than that. Only after we are killed and dried out do we get slept on. Some of us are content to flollop, vollue, bask in the sun working it's way through the mist, and globbering (but not so frequently, since we are all Zem and never know which Zem was recently killed). Mattresses have spring pockets, too, you know!!

I'm sorry-I'm just a little quirreled by this lack of understanding. I'll be okay once I calm down.

Life As A Mattress

I apologize for that last little outburst. I was so upset I was gupping-but I'm okay now. In all my excitement, I seem to have misplaced my towel.....I'll have to look undermyself (it wouldn't be the first time). Do you have any idea, though, what it is like to try to flip yourself? Let me tell you, it's not easy! (That reminds me of a comment once mentioned by a humanoid about looking like some creature called a tortoise-I think that's what he said. Of course I have yet to meet one of these creatures.)

Voon!
