A parody of Cumbersome by Seven Mary Three
This is actually my submission to the Wergle Flomp Humor Poetry Contest, which is free to enter and has a top prize of $2,000! Verse 1 She calls me a cheater when I wear my sleeping mask I guess the snores will be coming too fast for her now She would like to believe her insomnia will pass All the snores are drivin' her right up the wall Pre-Chorus 1 I have become slumbersome To this world I have become slumbersome To my girl Verse 2 I'd like to believe I can get to sleep fast Reconnect those bridges, make the dreams last But my snoring face just seems to break her down She visits the fridges because of all the sound Pre-Chorus 2 I have become slumbersome snore, sniff, twirl I have become slumbersome She might hurl Chorus Too comfy, too tight, too dark or too bright, sleep wrong or sleep right The day or the night, slumbersome Bed switch or bed floor, she's getting sleep less and I'm getting much more No time to waste it's slumbersome snore, zzz, snore-snore, snore snore-snore, snore, zzz Bridge There is no balance of me and my girl I get sleep, she's at a loss Regardless of imbalance life has become Slumbersome Chorus Too comfy, too tight, too dark or too bright, sleep wrong or sleep right The day or the night, slumbersome Bed switch or bed floor, she's getting sleep less and I'm getting much more No time to waste it's slumbersome snore, zzz, snore-snore, snore snore-snore, snore, zzz Outro snore, zzz, snore, snore, snore* snore-snore, snore, zzz snore-snore, snore, snore, zzz My life has become slumbersome Thank you so much for reading. Please consider leaving some feedback. Have a wonderful day....[[\|:-)

You are very brave to submit song lyrics to a poetry contest.

Always when I read lyrics, I wonder what it sounds like. You could add a little video of you singing it with your guitar. It's the performance that makes the song, not necessarily, the lyrics.

Finally, while it may seem humorous, you are describing a serious condition for many relationships. I recall my mother eventually sleeping in separate rooms from my father because of his snoring.
