The Sleep Talking Dilemma
Dilemmas that sleep talkers must face,
Their subconscious thoughts are mumbled aloud.
Dreams with reality can interface.
Not anyone with this problem is proud.
Talking in one’s sleep could be worrisome.
One never knows what dreams might generate.
Sleep talk creates a cuddle-some chasm.
Especially if a spouse interrogates!
Who knows what pain abates when words berate.
Some spouses listening in might just pout.
One cannot predict what thoughts might frustrate.
Please, mumbles from sleeping mouth do not spout!
One might need the strength of ancient Spartans.
Yes; some mornings begin with a shout out.
Some dreams bring about weird conversations.
Once mumbles from peeping mouths start to sprout.
So, if ever you begin to sleep talk,
Be sure to wake up before hubby hears.
It’s easy to hurt his ego with squawk.
No need to ruin the day with sad tears.
