Silent Snoring

What’s a secret skill or ability you have or wish you had?

I wish I could secretly snore

My walrus grunts are such a bore

To lie on my back and sleep

A good night’s solid rest to reap

Instead of being woken up

“Turn over on your side” said so abrupt

I wake and cannot bear

The lonely walk down the stair

For once my dreams are broken

Sleep is a forlorn token,

I must read or sew or knit

Until my eyes say quit

Sleep downstairs now! As your walrus roar

Cannot be heard anymore.

Oh how I really do wish for

The benefit of the silent snore.
