Sleepwalkers

She did not recall those nightly forages
 Those midnight snacks had packed on the pounds
 From her eating habits she couldn't disengage
She needs to solve the mystery of those midnight rounds

 Her husband was suspicious too
 And he wondered what he should do
 For someone was putting miles on his car!
 It was really quite bizarre

 So he installed cameras, both inside and out
 To see what this mystery was all about
 They reviewed the tapes after a couple days
 They were both shocked and dismayed

There was his wife having a midnight snack
 Sleepwalking to the kitchen and back!
 The couple knew this was no dream
 For there he was, driving down the road with high beams!
 This sleepwalking couple knew just what to do
 They'd kill two birds with one stone and go to the drive-thru!
