He Snored In The History Class
I did not know him well
but I know what happened to him
he got out of the Army
artillery was too noisy
he went to a college
he liked a history class
the professor was a young lady
her voice was sweet and soothing
he would sit in the front seat
and promptly fall asleep
how many times did this happen?
more than several times
one day he fell asleep as usual
then began to snore like a truck engine
this was unusual
just too much
the professor screamed
the whole class was stunned
since then he was no longer seen
in that history class
where is he now?
he may be somewhere
asleep in a church
or in a cemetery
dead
