The Mattress

I don't quite know the irony, if any, in this situation, but on my way home yesterday in bumper to bumper traffic on the Beltway, an abandoned mattress lay on the side of the road. I was quite tired, and I mused that I could have had a snooze while the rush hour traffic thinned out. But, then again, what with the bedbug situation that there is, perhaps lying on that mattress woyld not have been a good idea after all.
