Donations are essential to keep Write Out Loud going    

Sleep?

Should you go in the spare room, you wonder

as we lie here in bed together

so that I can be left to slumber

as it seems you’re coughing forever.

 

Loving affection is really our thing

so I suggest you take a dose

of that tasty cough medicine

which you have been keeping close.

 

So you take my advice with a swig

and hey, you’ve stopped coughing – yes!

but now you’re snoring like a pig

so it’s ME to the spare room, I guess!

It has love, sympathy and empathy and proves hindsight is a wonderful thing Lynn. Loved it.
(Now where did I put those earplugs)?

Well, I agree with that, John, no point in both being awake. To be fair, sometimes Colin goes in the spare room because I'm snoring, lol.
Thank you very much for comment.x

Ha ha, Lynn. Our Gert pokes me when I snore which I think is the depths of bad manners. Why need two of us be awake?
