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.
