In Bed At Night

In Bed At Night

In bed at night, I found myself at war
and sometimes wound up sleeping on the floor.
It seemed I was in trouble with my wife
because I caused great hardship in her life
by snoring louder than a dinosaur.

Okay, it's true, I have been known to snore
but just a dulcet murmur, not a roar.
It hardly taints her quality of life
in bed at night.

Last night, I ventured to the liquor store
and on return discovered a locked door.
My spouse had found an answer to our strife
without resorting to a carving knife.
She's sleeping better with our labrador
in bed at night.
