You know what I mean,
Z-Z-Z-Z-Z-Z-Z-Z---(SNORING)

I've been told I snore
but how can this be
I stayed awake one night
so I could listen to me

I only heard silence
not a sound ensued
I woke my husband
so he could hear too

About daylight I began
to doze
there in the darkness
a faint sound arose

It started so gently
this sudden refrain
then all of a sudden
I heard a freight train

It passed through the bedroom
over the floor
and as I awoke
it went out the door

My husband was still,
sleeping peacefully
the sound I heard
came from him, not me

Like a miller who saws
wood in the daylight
my husband drives trains
through our house at night.
