His face was still and lifeless
Like I've never seen it before
The form resembled my loved one indeed
But I really was quite unsure
The mouth had fallen open
The brow had lost its stress
Such peace surrounded this motionless man
At his horizontal rest
I leaned in for a better glimpse
Then came an alarming ROAR!
I knew right away that this stiff was mine
For dead men just don't snore! !

Very funny Linda - loved the twist in the tale :) Take care. Joey

Amusing poem, Linda, with a clever element of surprise :) Cuts both ways though, my ex used to snore soooooo loudly, seperate rooms were soon on the menu... Best wishes. jack :)
