Snooz alarm

By joyismine

Topics: Poetry Source: AllPoetry Original source

I roll from side to side, place the pillow over my head, and as I toss and turn and wonder why I went to bed. I fine tune the temperature, turn the radio off and on, put ear plugs in both my ears, and softly grunt and moan; I've drank "Sleepy Time" and other herbal teas galore; I've laid on pillows soft and thick, and even tried the floor. I roll my wife from side to side, and she comes rolling back; I've counted sheep so many times, but I keep losing track. I've had it up to here, I can take no more, as I lie awake night after night and hear my good wife snore. Joyce GuyI wrote this from my husbands point of view as I snore and he does not. Although we eventually worked out an agreeable solution (ever hear of a noise maker?) I kept him awake a few times. He is a good guy, and made the best of a bad situation.
