At night I hear a sound I can’t ignore,
The loud rumble of my dad’s snore.
My dad snores a lot,
And I wonder sometimes if he’s a robot.

I go to the place with the loudest boom,
And I find him in the living room.
I want to change his TV program,
But the remote is tight in his hand like a clam.

When I go to grab a kitchen cup,
He wakes and says, “Who’s up?”
Then he goes through the bedroom door,
And again, there’s that snore!

I go back to bed and look like I’m sleeping,
But then I hear beeping.
I realize it’s my alarm clock,
And I look around in shock!

My dad is finally quiet in bed,
The blanket almost up over his head.
I sigh and lay down for just a bit more,
When again I am awakened by a loud snore!
