If only I could snore…

My husband snores, like a team of loggers cutting down trees. Embarrassingly enough, I apparently snore too, though I maintain that I snore only when extremely pregnant. Even Otter snores away in his baby sleep, little spurts of sound cutely puffing from his chubby little cheeks.

Snoring is something I have never considered a positive, so I was amazed when Lee told me that Monkey had been crying the other day, because she didn’t snore.

“You snore, Mommy snores, even Otter snores!” she agonized between sobs, “I wish I could snore! I feel so left out!”

He didn’t know where to begin, but gamely came up with an answer.
“How do you know you don’t snore? You sleep in your own bed, you could snore like me, and just not know it.”

She found this piece of information very comforting.

Haiku Friday

Blissful Haiku day
you give me something to say
Damn NaBloPoMo.

It seems pledging posts
shatters and wrecks havoc on
my inspiration.

Wit and Cleverness
are now distant cousins here
leaving you snoring.

Maybe a new meme
another weekly gig will
animate my prose.

Couplet’s on Monday?
Terza Rima on Tuesday?
Wednesday’s Lyrics?

Free verse for Sunday?
Horatian Ode Thursday?
Saturday Sonnets?

So many options
A poetic offering
each day of the week.

When will it all end?
This NaBloPoMo craziness?
Oh yeah… in April.

Maybe for next year
I will choose February
Three less posts you know.
