I stand here and watch as she walks out the door
perplexed at the reason, all I said was ‘you snore’
Her face went white, she started to yell
I backed up so suddenly I almost fell

I didn’t hear half of what she said
all I could think was ‘this relationship’s dead’
I was only half serious, I wanted to say
it was a cute habit, but she took it the wrong way

I walked around the house, thinking again
that I must be the worst of men
When I spied a note on the bathroom sink
written in lipstick, raspberry pink

"I don’t snore, you fool! Can’t you see
your last girlfriend did, that’s what you told me!
So you must think you’re sleeping with her
You’re a louse, a creep, a slimy cur!"

That night I went to bed for a quiet rest
knowing the sound barrier, my lover wouldn’t test
I awoke in the dark, it must have been three
and discovered that, the snorer was me!

I liked this, excellent job.
I'm told I snore, talk, and eat in my sleep. My dentist told me I grind my teeth, (how does he know?)I wonder where I've been sleeping!

.......a snore dear sir?
Whatever can you mean?
Mayhaps it was some other poet
who first snored upon the scene!

But this challenge,
taken and given
was to put myself in manly shoes
a fate that leaves me shiverin'

very well done deVine, you are so spontaneous when it comes to creating a poem ! ...'fraid others did not like my challenge too much ...of course, and i know i've said this before, women never snore
PS: i am not satisfied with my gender-bender poem yet, so it'll be a few more days before i post mine (in the adult forum)

I feel a shameless plug here......if you have not chanced to read anything in the adult forum, I highly recommend it! But please, take your heart pills before you enter...you're going to need 'em!!!!

Bring ice...lots of ice!!!
