You talk in your sleep; well blubber Who is this Elaine now revealed Under our marriage covers snubber Lies turned to truth as her name squealed Many facts decoded in bed Jumbled messages like knitting yarn tangled, needle trapped in thread Honest contemplation do charn? Churn no more when life has better Talk all you want about your lover There are faithful who'll unfetter And let good life rediscover Charn is a dialect word for the word churn. For those that don't know, people used to pour day old milk into a vessel made of clay and painted which had a lid with a wooded paddle..They added some buttermilk to it and let it sit until it clabbered then churned the milk with the wooded paddle to separate the butter from the milk creating buttermilk plus butter..

Sunshine, I haven't talked in my sleep that I know about but in times that I have been quite ill I have awakened myself groaning or softly crying..Thanks for stopping by..It is good that not everyone talks in their sleep or our thoughts flashing across a bulletin board for all to see everyday...Sara

Matthew, The thing is the most important person already knows about the affair and patiently waits for the person who has committed the affair to repent..Thanks for stopping by. Your presence at my page is always appreciated..Sara

You got that one correct and one can not control that at all..When one is sick they call it delirium but when a person just talks away then it is speaking the truth..LOL..Thanks for the visit to my page..Sara
