In the sagas of life, consider this weeper: The snorer in you keeps disrupting the sleeper! Unwanted awakenings bring feelings of gloom When only one person occupies the bedroom Oh, how you’d like to lay blame at a partner’s door When you’re jolted from sleep by an obnoxious snore! Through the dimness you seek someone to kick or shake Or urge to turn over - It just makes your heart break. Sleep deprivation slowly saps your sanity You wonder if ever a night of peace will be You drag into work, assuring “Yes, I’m all right... Really... nothing is wrong - I just had a rough night!” Inspired by the transcendent Balladeer: /pip/Forum2/HTML/000921.html |

LOL .... well you could always blame it on Miss Kitty  Cute and Clever musing Ruthie...and how can we not be inspired by the Spam-master. Thank for the cadenced comic relief from these taxes.  |

This made me chuckle to-day as I remembered counting my husband's snores instead of sleep recently. Chris  Life is not measured by breaths you take, but by moments that take your breath away. |

Soleil: My cats are guilty of ALL the indiscreet noises at my place... I swear! LOL Thank you! *S* Marge: LOL @ your giggle-smiggles... what a wonderful phrase! *G* I dare myself to say it without smiling. *S* Thank you very much, sweet lady... it's an honor to direct traffic to Laughter Street. *S* Janet Marie: And believe me, I DO!!! LOL I'm glad you enjoyed... I'll admit I thought seriously about giving the source of inspiration but leaving off the link... just to see if tongues would wag. LOL Thank you! Nightshade: I can sympathize. *G* My parents never had to worry about enforcing curfew... we knew that if we didn't get to sleep before Daddy, we didn't get to sleep AT ALL! LOL Thank you! jellybeans: Be careful with that shaking, gal... the last thing I want to do is give you more pain. *S* Big hugs... and many thanks. *S* Martie: Thank you for stopping by and smiling! *S* Sven: I'm so glad you enjoyed... thank you! *S* |

 (giggles in delight) Oh my gosh, this is sooooooo beautiful, sweet friend, your wonderful words always make me smile just as Balladeer's does, maybe just this once you can have a sleepover party on the front patio! (smiles) This is so cute, sweet friend, we all love you so much! You have such a beautiful heart, sweet friend, thank you for sharing!  May love and light always shine upon you! Love, Noah Eaton |

serenity: ROFL... was that YOU???? LOL I thought the riverboat calliopes were malfunctioning. *G* Thank you so much for the reciprocated chuckles and the hugs. *S* Enchantress: My sister managed to deny she snores... until her 3 year old gave his impression of "mommy sleeping"... in front of company, of course. LOL Thank you very much! M'toe: But think of the poor neighbors!!! And what about noise ordinances? LOL Thank you so much. *S* Eloise: I'm so glad you enjoyed... thank you!! *S* ecrivan: Since most of my potential titles were as long as the poem, I settled for shortest. *G* Glad you liked... thank you! *S* |
