A One Act Play

It's said and sworn that I snore
Heavy breathing to oceans roar.
And this invites her nightly game
With silence as the prize and aim.

By devilish finger, toe or blow
She wakes me up to let me know.
Pulls the pillow from above
And swears it's an act of love.

In ghostly haunt throughout the night
Phantoms touch me out of sight.
Or bugle me a hoary tune
Enough to make an Angel swoon.

And there I stay in semi wake
Tortured body quelled in quake.
To wait in purgatory's well
That opens to the doors of hell.

This bed I share in love and hate
Of purr and growl of sate and fate
Goad's and feeds the nightly bowl
Where dragons take their nightly stroll

To a harp that's sharp of sound
That will and wont my sleep profound
Fills my store with lovers awe for
She snores as bad as I and more.

Twenty four hours this one act play
Morning noon and matinee.

This is a keeper.

over the rain-green grass,
and the sun drips honey.""

Irish,
Thank you, thank you.

Sunshine,
Glad you could relate. *L*

JM,
Loved your entry in my log.
Cleared me off a little fog.
Gosh I feel so awful sleepy,
Winkiewinkie, blinkieblinkie.

Balladeer,
So you don't like drama.

Sy-Way to go, now if they only made the stage just a little bigger so snorers could get rolled out just a tad further..., I can relate, nicely done.

Oh, Seymour... this is wonderful! Just remind her that there are people who'd sell their souls to hear their dear one snore... and if that still doesn't work and get you some undisturbed sleep, pinch back in such a way neither of you worry about sleeping! LOL

LOL! Sy, this is delightful! I once elbowed my husband a little too hard for snoring one night! Needless to say, he wasn't very happy with me. He swears I snore to, but I know I don't!   For some reason I wake him up to tell him he's snoring. Figure that one out. LOL! I don't know why I do it. It'll just be a matter of minutes before it happens again!
