Ronquidos: Nocturnal Hymns

Ronquidos

By Jim


Snoring is not a crime,

Though it’s caused some (it’s said).

"I’m innocent, Your Honour …

He just fell out of bed."


The cacophony is maddening

when you’re lying in your cot.

What adds insult to injury —

they’re sleeping and you’re not!


Everyone passes judgment;

To deny makes us a liar.

The verdict depends where we sit:

The congregation or the choir.


Now, don’t feel high and mighty —

Hubris has a sting.

Comes a time in every service

When the congregation starts to sing!



A sign in the Valpromaro Ostello
