But, Is It A Nest?

“Nest” as explained by Wikipedia

 (I know!  Wikipedia…

but I’m trusting it

for the moment…) 

 Nest = a place of refuge

(relevant)

to hold eggs or raise young…

 (Not so relevant,

but I am keeping my adult self

 safe, so good enough!)

They are usually made of leaves,

 twigs or grass…

(Surely blankets are a fine trade?)

 They can be in a depression

in the ground,

a hole in a tree,

rock or building…

(I figure there is a depression

 in the mattress

after I’ve been lying in it…

There is surely a depression

 in me when I have to

leave my “nest” on a

windy, rainy morning!)

Human-made materials may be used. 

 (They suggest string, plastic,

cloth, hair and paper…

I have metal, plastic

and cloth covered…

I’m sure there would be

plenty of stray hair,

should anyone go looking for it…

 and paper,

no doubt there would be

 a stray piece of paper

lying around somewhere! 

 I have the human-made

 materials covered!)

Nests can be found in many

different habitats,

including urban environments.

They can be built by birds,

mammals, fish, insects

and reptiles.

(I’m a mammal, so… check!)

Therefore, by Wikipedia’s definition,

 I will definitely be sleeping

in a nest tonight…

so long as the wind

 eases up enough

that I can actually fall asleep.

  I can’t even crank

the music up to drown out

 the gales…

I’m mid-blackout!

Thank goodness

for charged laptops!
