Count-up to Planet Bed
I’m one for the window
and two for the door.
I’m three for the ceiling
and four for the floor.
I’m five for the morning
and six for the night.
I’m seven for the stairs
and eight for the light.
I’m nine for a story
and ten for my bed.
Now I’m off for a dream
to hold in my head.

Fabulous! Thanks Katherine, sweet and simple with an enviable-looking bed as a reward.
