Array ( [sid] => 123550 [catid] => 1 [aid] => mick [title] => Wired Wife (2) [time] => 2006-07-22 16:42:31 [hometext] => This is my revised version. Let me know what you think, ok? [bodytext] => My mountainous, white-bearded man
With narrow channels in his nostrils
Snores nightly with loud jerky rattles
My ears need rest and my mind needs sleep
Again he rips the devilish, thundering sound
That threatens to drive me insane
Finally I start to fall asleep
When he has another blow-out
I jump, nearly falling off my bed
I groan and roll over
Is that an airplane over head?
The sonic boom breaking
the sound barrier?
I roll back over and realize
It's just my darling man
His lips are quivering and he
murmers words I don't understand
He makes snorting pig sounds
Making me think of the fair last fall
Whats that, its morning time?
Thats not the tea kettle whistling
Its just my darling man
If I used a recorder at night
That would be a good punishment
Use it for a torture chamber
Letting him hear it again and again
John Wesley Hardin shot a man once
Just for making these ghastly sounds
I hear the factory noise from down the way
I try to listen to the bangs and booms instead
I don't want to kill my darling man
I rather live with a grizzly bear
He would eat me and put me out of my misery
I take my pillow and tiptoe down the hall
Why am I tiptoeing? He won't awake!
I still hear his rumbling and mumbling
I think of the gun in the closet and...
I listen to the soothing sound
coming from the factory down the street!

I can so relate to this! They never believe it when you tell them how loud they really are, do they! It's sometimes hard to decide whose head to put the pillow over!

This is a very alive style. We are in that room!
Good vivid stuff.
