A Porcelain Delight

Her gentle features, delicate 
                             A porcelain delight
Approaching bisque perfection
                 She shimmers in the night

The body of a mythic god
                       The suppleness of rose
If there be just one little thing
                   it’s found in sweet repose

She snores, oh yes, she snores
                      When she is blowin’ Z’s 
The thunder of a lumberjack
                   I would compare to these

The rafter’s will begin to shake,
                The bed shifts high and low
She sucks the air enough to move 
                       The curtains to and fro

But when she wakes, a Barbie doll
                    Arrives to greet the dawn
I never wait around to see
         What happens, should she yawn!

A very hilarious work. Snore is compared and contrasted in many ways. Her yawning is left to our imagination. You have a very fine style of writing.

LOL. Humor and romance don't always seem to go hand in hand, but you've managed it quite well.
