Notes About The Poem

Poem written for “My Funny Valentine” poetry contest, Andrea Dietrich, sponsor, January 28, 2029.

MY FUNNY VALENTINE

My husband, Bill, snores with great might,
Like a jackhammer drilling all night.
Windows tremble and shake,
No sleep can I take.
Sleep in shed instead with my nightlight.

Good one on snoring guys. I am lucky my husband doesn't snore as loudly as my dad , who the whole house could hear. Congrats

We keep the infuser on. When it is off my hub will stop breathing and then snore it out. Sleeping in the shed (is it a she shed ;) ) seems excessive…lol
