THE WAY I SNORE

THE WAY I SNORE   Gone are the days I could curl So to speak, with my body, round My legs up across my neck And toes in my mouth I wrote ABC on my skin In seconds, visible, they became I woke up where I slept on bed Without rumpling the sheet at all When my uncle snored, I wondered why   Today I bought a very large bed Yet, it seems not enough for my space I’ve caught myself a-times snoring From what people say, when I sleep I am a heavy truck driver, an earth mover With sounds like train and aeroplane Up and down the hill, I change the gears

I need a sound-proof room with walls of iron

So I won’t take down the roof of the house

Gone with the Wind?

Never, ever have I read such brilliant poetry, you make me see beyound God's eyes with this, powerful prose: "So. I won't take down the house..." Frankly Scarlet, I don't give a damn, but you, you wrote it so much more passionate...Up and down the hill...simply God like!

Would you...

tolerate someone who snores like the author of 'the way I snore'? it could be very hard to sleep near someone who snores heavily. In all thank you for standing by me, reading and commenting on the scribbles. T.

What a poem! I saw the title, and of course had to stop in for a read. They have little strips now that go across the bridge of your nose - and they work! Nice, lighthearted, and funny write, man! ~Jess K. ---------------------------------------------------- -"Handle every situation like a dog: if you can't eat it, or screw it, piss on it and walk away!"
