What it feels like to sleep with someone who snores.

As the evening has come to and end,
to bed we go to rest,
all cuddled arm and arm,
my head laid on your chest.
Our eyes they close so quickly,
as to dream land we are lured,
when suddenly I am awaken,
by the sound of your huge snore.
As awake I lay from your sound,
there you lay fast asleep.
As I toss and turn from your noise
I just cant seem to escape,
I wonder if I should go,
and get that big roll of gray tape.
As minutes turn to hours
and to me  it is quite clear,
No sleep for me is in the cards,
and that’s for sure you hear,
Though I love you deeply,
as I stumble towards the door,
Could you just please wake up for once,
and stop that horrid  snore.

    Funny! I always wondered how my grandmother endured my grandfather’s snoring. I guess the answer was true love.

    Linda,
    You have to look at the positive side. It is the snoring that keeps the wild dogs and bears away.

    oH THAT IS SOOOOO FUNNY! Beautifully penned with a nice zing to it. Most everyone makes some noise at night. Some because of injury or conditions. Be glad you have a man next to you!

    Great job, Linda! It was really funny. People in my family snore so I can really relate to this.

    Great! I love how you lured us in with a delicate, romantic quality and then, pow, brought the humor into the setting.
