I Do Not Snore

 

 

I know I do not snore

For sure, not when I sleep,

Does anyone hear a tree fall

In the forest deep?

 

Well, I do not snore

And this I know for sure,

My own snore would wake me up

If I used to snore.

 

I’d snore the loudest

If I used to snore

And no one else would sleep;

That is for sure.

 

That’s who I am!

When awake I am loud

So just imagine when I’m asleep,

I’d rouse any crowd.

 

No complaints so far

About any snoring,

My wife would have told me

But so far, no complaining.

 

 

So, I can say for sure

I do not snore

For besides my wife complaining,

I’d also know for sure.

 

I still hear when I sleep

After all, I am not deaf,

Noises invariably wake me up

Adding to my stress.

 

Snoring would wake me

Why, it’s another sound

That would usually wake me up

If noise is around.

 

I know I do not snore,

Certainly not when I sleep

And you can believe me on that

Even as I speak.

 

 

Not everybody snores

Though most people do,

There are not may snore-less ones

And I am one of the few.

 

You may not believe me

So, believe what you wish,

But I am telling you I do not snore;

Snoring is not my dish.

 

You can rest peacefully

Even if you snore

But I would be sure to wake up

If I used to snore.
