Gummy ear

A cozy cushion laid against my heavy head
It’s time for my right side to lie down instead
Excuse me! I cannot hear what was just said
My right ear appears to be filled with gum and lead

All sound is gone when the cushion meets my right ear
I lift it back up and for a while I am not able to hear
It can’t be that is has become that time of year

That my ears have become gummy, something I fear
