4-poster bed

Royston 1946 (Reading)



There was a large 4-poster bed where we stayed.
So we had great fun together as we played,
and wondered what it would be like to make love
with a large silky canopy hanging above.

Then we came back in the middle of the day
to frolic around and to giggle and play
imaginative games between the covers
as we played together like two young lovers.

‘Twas great to make passionate love and to share
caressing each other as we both lay there.
In a 4-poster bed it's great what you can do
when a lovely lass is sharing it with you.
