Snore No More! (ore)
(Tune: Mary Had a Little Lamb)
Have you heard my daddy’s snore?
I’m sure you’ll say it’s not a bore!
It sounds just like a lion’s roar,
a sound poor Mom cannot ignore!
“Snore! Snore! Please snore no more!”
is what she says from nine ‘til four.
I know my mom is hoping for
a silent night and no more snore!
