Dawn Chorus


from the ABC set Past Times and Pastimes

There’s a big mistake that I always make
As I awake in the dawning.
I open one eye and then with a sigh
I wonder why I’m still yawning.

I know I’m awake by the noise I make
And so I fake some more sleeping.
But I don’t know why however I try
My other eye begins peeping.

I see I’m in bed asleep with my wed
But in my head I hear wheezing.
And then for my sins my darling begins
Her own loud dins and starts sneezing.

She sneezes and snores and bellows and roars
As if some wars she is winning.
So I blow my nose and tickle her toes
Inside her hose and she’s grinning.

We sigh and we moan we grunt and we groan
And then her phone begins pinging.
There is no mistake the noises we make
Bring birds awake with their singing!

Hi Canary Islander,
This sounds like me and my partner after being on
the booze. ( No I'm only kidding. ) It certainly
made me laugh.
