Oh, nightstand, your upstanding structure works so hard beneath the heap.
Your sturdy presence greets us first each morning,
and kindly holds our glasses while we sleep.
Sometimes you’re grand, with drawer space to spare.
Sometimes a bedroom drifter may not even know you’re there.
But, dear nightstand, we promise we do cherish you so,
so we’ve amassed a little slideshow to let you know.
