Twas the Snoring Before Christmas

Twas the night before Christmas and all through the house

There was such a noise I knew it must be my spouse

It shook our home from foundation to roof

But I knew for him to believe me I would need proof

So I put a tape in the recorder and set it to record

This occasion to lose I could not afford

So as I walked out of the room and waited for the sound

I knew there would be another snoring round

Yes, there it was the loudest I'd heard yet

This time I knew I would win the bet

For he had told me over and over again

That he never snored and I would never win

But oh the expression as that recording I played

And he was sorry that bet he had ever made

But I heard him exclaim as I walked out of the room

A payback would be coming very soon
