Santa slept passed Christmas time
He snored while his clock chime and chime
He suddenly jumps up
Hops on his reindeer’s pulp
Not realizing he was in his prime...

Saint Patrick slept in stupor self-imposed
in the back of the pub with the door closed
	they sang out for him
	to silence the din
but he snuggly snored on indisposed...

I once tried some camomile tea,
It was bland and tasted like pee.
‘Twas lapped up by the dog,
Who then snored like a hog.
From then on, was just beer for me.

When Cyris snored it shook the house piers,
Reducing his wife to constant tears,
At wits end she put a peg on his nose
To stop where the emanating air noise grows,
But unfortunately it blew off both of his ears....

Once there was a parson named Ezra Heap

   Whose Sunday sermons were profoundly deep

      The louder Ezra implored

         The more his congregants snored

            He could never arouse them from their sleep...

Shh! The kitty is sleeping the faerie village was whispering.
The slumbering child was almost ready to fall off the tulip’s head.
The sun was warm that day, but not so hot to be blistering.
The kitty snored away, in a twilight sleep, dreams overfed....

Love that floored.


Love that floored 
Love that soared
Love that finally snored
Love that today looks
Like a face smiling 
From the obituary page.

Your scritchy scratchy beard
Scritch scratches against my sensitive neck
You breathed your hot breath against me
Blowing it in and out
while I read the paper in bed
Your head
Pillowed against me 
I crained my neck to see
You snored and snorted
While I drank coffee blissfully...

A frustrated housewife called Mia
Wore nighties so skimpy and sheer
There’s no roll in the clover
Hubby snored and turned over
His impotence is her greatest fear

Yesterday I saw a pic of actress Mia Farrow and had a bit of fun with the word play with her name

“Wet blankets, give them all”
Captain of flight X
ordered the crew
as he wrapped himself
with warm woolen blanket
When asked he said
“but this is a towel
used in bathrooms
if you want one
I give you time go get
from your homes”
coldness gnawed us
as captain snored
and dreamed
wet dreams
This is Africa airspace...

Shelley the cockatoo went to the zoo
She made a lot of new friends 

When Shelley got home
she roared like a lion 
She snored like a bear
She fell asleep in her favorite chair 

She smiled as she slept
Many memories to be kept
The lion the bears the monkeys
and giraffes 
Will wait until next time for many more laughs...

What would you do,
If I snored out of tune,
Would you dump a pail of water on me?

Lend me your pillow
And I'll snore you out a croon,
I will try to keep my snoring to me....

Ruby; I don't have a sandman,
but I do have two concrete users,
Rocco, and Vinny (Asphalt Vinny, they call him)
and I hear they're lookin' for me!...

TIME OUT

Thus will man stop the sun
make long shadows cry
cause this rock to stop its roll
believing nature must comply,

take direction from the hands
of ticking, tocking, gears
shift the world to meet his needs
while nature laughs ‘til shedding tears.

When told of this the owl said, “WHO?”
the mocking lion roared
butterflies just flapped their wings
as black bears loudly snored.

Roar of a snore
Heard it before
Intense urge to wiz
Felt the call that is
Awake too soon
So far from noon
Early to rise
A primal surprise
An annoying jolt
Stampeding down Jurassic Park
Up all night, pitch black dark
Toss and turn
Oil to burn
Seething at the snort
Restful slumber to abort
No excuse for this abuse
Ring the alarm, light a fuse
Snored awake, sleep do shake
Awful Fright, this late night
Pitch black dark
Jurassic Park...

I started an exact joke like this,
I placed a trap at her satin door;
She slept with my elder son,
and snored like a licentious whore.

I was not sure about the plan,
But laughed in a hearty flow;
They were cursed to get crammed
In throes of muggy afterglow.

The fire I lit an eon ago
May burn the house to even the score;
But as a pampered child of God
I must keep my toe in the door.

Her eyes shut down,
Her life had been stolen, sleeping on a summer day,
Deeply, she’d snored in relief,
“She found the light”
The one she always searched for
Because the world is dark,
But her spirit can light up a town.
My mom met heaven,
Heaven approved,
And God introduced her to it.
I just didn’t think that God had to put her to bed,
For a whole month and a half,
Because we missed her,
We thought
We’d lost her.
But
You only borrowed her, 
She has returned....

Phillip Buster could fluster a room -
Full of men whose anger ballooned
     When came his turn to speak,
     Congress snored for a week,
All dreaming he'd peter out soon.

Gail's note: Filibuster - Type of parliamentary procedure.
Right of the individual to extend debate allowing the lone
member to delay or prevent a vote on a proposal. -Wikipedia...
