Love Might Be Blind
LOVE MIGHT BE BLIND (a true story, apart from last two lines of 7th verse)
'Love might be blind, but it's not deaf,'
Is what my dear husband has said.
By claiming my snoring is so loud,
It's enough to wake up the dead.
He's made some outrageous statements,
That my snoring 's like a truck's roar,
Causes the windows to rattle ,
Thinks an earthquake's shaking the floor.
My snoring woke the neighbour's dog,
Is what I was told one morning.
I really think that's a bit far-fetched,
Though rubbing his eyes and yawning.
He's tried different types of ear plugs,
But never dulls the noise I make.
Though I haven't heard myself snore,
He swears it keeps him wide awake.
I've also tried kinds of inventions,
Bought from the chemist's shop.
There were sprays, plasters and masks,
None worked for my snoring to stop.
Love might be blind, but it's not deaf,
We married for better or worse,
Never dreaming it could be this bad,
Loud snoring can be such a curse.
Resorting to drastic measures,
Deciding on sedatives to take,
Sleeping deeply he now snores,
Which keeps me wide awake.
Love might be blind,
but marriage is an eye opener!
