One busies one's self counting sheep
Snooze you lose
Ewes your muse
Aussie poets are now knee-deep

dogs lie at my feet
worn out from constant napping

Ounce of Prevention

If we could schedule
Wake-up calls with the Front Desk,
We would still hit snooze
When we hang up and sleep in
With pounds of the cures we love.

If drinking they’d rarely abuse
They might get away with a snooze
But choosing to binge
Makes them ill and they cringe
Confused at the end of the cruise

Premium Member Lazy Snooze Alarm

The sun looked tired this morning
Yawning stretched shadows over silent birds
Teasing nighttimes sleeping flowers
As its lazy snooze alarm hummed idly

Premium Member Snowman Takes a Snooze

Snowman took the largest snooze today.
The wren saw him and whistled merry and gay.
Trying to get a wink, a sigh or a hey hey hey
But the snowman was out of it in every way.

That’s what I miss.

Premium Member Rip Van Winkle

After a long, long snooze, Rip Van Winkle

Woke with a start, his duds all a-wrinkle

Said he, a bit dotty

"Quick!   Bring me a potty

I'm in need of a humongous tinkle!"

Along the Line

Snooze of peace reigned on a collage
of sacred impulse for serenity of shelter —
bower-girthed and soul-inundated —
but along the line, a stampede, peccant
and harlotic,
framed the sun.

Wednesday

The alarm says, "Get Up, Go to Work!"
But I would rather stay in bed.
Here, it is warm and cozy.
I fight heavy eyelids.
I succumb to them.
The alarm groans.
I don't care.
Hit snooze.
Snore.

Hard Working Santa

Does Santa Clause have a vacation?
He does only work once a year
But toy building must take time
Maybe after Christmas
He takes a small snooze
But the elves yell:
"Hey Kringle!"
"Make more
toys!"

Premium Member Bouncing Furball

Thundering paws pound the floors;
back flips off the walls, resounding.

Claws clicking floors as feline ricochets, 
down the hallway and back.

A cat with cabin fever,
after a long winter snooze.

Sleep Disorder?

No need to count sheep
I drift off to sleep
Then snooze in my hay...
Just can't STAY that way!!

PLEASE round up your sheep...
Come in where I lay
And DRUG me...Okay??

The Pool Player

A pool player taking a snooze
Had a dream that his match he would lose.
	Since his bladder would squeeze
	He was minding his pees
But he should have been minding his cues!
