"CAN YOU HELP ME PLEASE "


















CAN ANYBODY HELP ME PLEASE I NEED A PROBLEM SOLVED.

I CANNOT REST OR SLEEP PROPERLY UNTIL IT IS RESOLVED.

FOR THE LAST FEW WEEKS ON AND OFF IV'E WOKE UP DURING THE NIGHT.

AROUND 3AM BY MY BED TREMBLING WHICH AT FIRST DID GIVE ME A FRIGHT.

I LAID THERE WONDERING WHAT IT WAS AN EARTH TREMORS WHAT I THOUGHT.

ALL WAS VERY SILENT OUTSIDE AND I WAS FEELING DISTRAUT.

I LOOKED DOWNSTAIRS THERE WAS NOTHING ABOUT SO I GOT BACK INTO MY BED.

FELL BACK TO SLEEP QUITE QUICKLY AS I RESTED MY WEARY HEAD.

IT FEELS LIKE A HEAVY VEHICLE OUTSIDE MY HOME YOU KNOW REVVING UP.

OR MAYBE ON MY DRIVE BUT NO SIDE WINDOW UPSTAIRS SO CARN'T LOOK.

I WASN'T RISKING GOING OUT TO HAVE A LOOK ON THE SIDE DRIVE.

OR IF SOMEONE WAS HANGING AROUND WHO KNOW'S I MIGHT NOT BE ALIVE.
























ANOTHER THING I THOUGHT IT MIGHT BE WAS MY NEIGHBOUR WASHING HER CLOTHES.

ON A TIME SWITCH DURING THE NIGHT MAYBE TO CUT EXPENCES WHO KNOWS.

THERE WAS A PROGRAM ON THE TV TELLING PEOPLE TO DO THIS AT NIGHT .

ELECTRICITY CHEAPER AT THIS TIME IT SEEMS SO SOME ARE DOING IT RIGHT.

I DON'T AGREE WITH IT PERSONALLY BUT IT DOES GIVE OUT THAT SOUND.

BUT WHEN IT MAKES MY BED MOVE AND SHAKE MY HEART IT DON'T HALF POUND.

WELL I ASKED MY NEIGHBOUR AND SHE SAID NO SO THAT WAS CROSSED OFF MY LIST.

AND NO I HADN'T BEEN DRINKING SO I KNOW I WASN'T P=====. HE-HE .

IT'S BEEN GOING ON NOW FOR WEEKS AS I SAID ODD NIGHTS BUT WHEN IT DOES.

IT MAKES ME ANGRY WHEN IT WAKES ME AND DOESN'T GIVE ME A BUZZ.

MY FLOORBOARDS ARE VERY STURDY YET STILL THEY SEEM TO SHAKE.

THE BED FROM SIDE TO SIDE OH GOODNESS MY BREATH SOMETIMES IT TAKES.

I CANNOT THINK WHAT IT CAN BE HAVE YOU FRIENDS GOT ANY IDEAS.

AS IV'E THOUGHT AND THOUGHT AND I'M GETTING TIRED OUT LAST NIGHT IT BROUGHT ON TEARS.

I WENT DOWNSTAIRS AT 3AM AND MADE A DRINK FOR MYSELF .

A NICE CUP OF COFFEE AND TOOK A TABLET FROM OUT OF MY BOX ON THE SHELF.

WHEN I RETURNED TO MY BED ALL WAS WELL BUT IT WAS LATE THEN WHEN I WOKE.

AND I LIKE ROUTINE AND LOVE TO BE UP EARLY SO IT'S BECOMING NO JOKE.

YOU SEE I'M BUSY DECORATING THROUGHOUT THE DAY JUST NOW .

COMMENTING LATE IN THE EVENINGS TOO ON YOUR BLOGS SO I DON'T KNOW HOW.

I AM FINDING THE ENERGY AFTER LOSING ALL THIS SLEEP ON THESE NIGHTS.

SHAKING AND MOVING MY BED NEVER STILL IT GIVES ME SUCH A FRIGHT.

SOME NIGHTS I CANNOT GET BACK TO SLEEP AND THE HOURS THEY ARE SO LONG.

MY DAUGHTER TELLS ME SHE DOESN'T KNOW HOW I KEEP UP I MUST BE STRONG.

OH! WELL MAYBE ONE DAY I'LL FIND OUT WHAT THE VIBRATION IS.

IT'S THE ONLY QUESTION I CARN'T ANSWER IN MY WEEKLY QUIZ.

SO PLEASE IF YOU CAN THINK OF AN ANSWER COULD YOU PLEASE SAY WHAT THEY ARE.

DO YOU THINK SOMEONE WANTS ME OUT OF THIS HOUSE COS I'M NOT MOVING FAR.
OH NO I HAVE DONE MY MOVING GALS HERES WHERE I'M STAYING PUT.

COS I LOVE LIVING BACK IN THIS AREA AND KNOWONE WILL SHIFT MY BUTT.

ANYWAY I THOUGHT THAT I WOULD JUST ASK I HOPE YOU CAN HELP IF YOUV'E TIME.

I'LL CLOSE NOW AND LOVE AND LEAVE YOU ONCE MORE MOTHERHEN AND

Oooh Kath, I'm gonna have to think about this one. Seems odd its same time every night. I can only think of a lorry revving up but,like you,I shouldn't be going out to lok.

love, Angie, xx

Jeannette said...

Oh dear, I have simply no idea what it can be if you have ruled everything else out. I enjoyed the poem though.

I'm mostly known as 'MA' said...

Well that is a mystery for sure. You poor thing being woke up like that every night. I have a neighbor that works night hours and very often I'm startled awake as the sound travels right up to my room. The only thought I might have for you is to change the location of your bed in the room. Sometimes the trains running fast at night here also give a wierd sense of motion. We have one not too far away that seems to go on for hours. Thankfully if either of these things wake me up I can go back to sleep at night. I hope this is resolved for you very soon. You do need your rest.

Paula said...

I have no idea especially since I've never been to your area. I don't guess it could ba a slight earthquake, huh? Hope you solve it soon as you need your sleep. I would be wanting to know too.

CINDY said...

if this happens the same time every night, go to bed a lil earlier, set your clock for about 15 minutes before the expected time and be awake when it happens so you can see where it could possibly be coming from.
((((hugs)))
Love,
Cindy

Marie Rayner said...

Hmm...it's a mystery to me too. It is most likely a large truck or some such. I expect you will get used to it in time!! Lovely to see a rhyme from you to greet me this morning Kath! I have missed you! XXOO

Janie said...

Hmmm very unusual. Maybe furnace or heater? What time at night does it happen and what nights? I would not step outside for anything! lol Maybe someone else is washing clothes other than that neighbor?? Sure hope you find out soon. In my prayers, Janie

Jan said...

Oh Kath how annoying ,you seem to have done a check list of all the obvious resons ,so I dont know what it could be ..love ya Mate Jan xx

Anonymous said...

Hi Kate ..Wish I could help you and come up with some bright idea of what it could be ?????
But loved your rhyme..you are so clever with it .Hope you soon solve the problem ,can't go on losing your precious sleep ....love Jeanxxx

Jeanie said...

This sounds very strange and I too would want to get to the bottom of it Kath.
I like the idea of setting your alarm before the usual time of the occurrence and then watching out to see if the answer is a lorry passing by.
It has to be something like that unless your neighbour was telling porky's? Lol!
Meanwhile I hope you get to the bottom of it soon.
Hugs

You're not on the flight path to anywhere, are you Kath? We get a lot of big helicopters going over at night; they make a helluva rumble.

We used to hear a "schwish-schwish" sound alot when we lived in Calif. It turned out the upstairs neighbor owned one of those exercise boards that twists to and fro.

Maybe you need to mount a mirror so you can see around the corner without going out.

Who does have a window on that side? They probably can tell you. If they aren't responsible for the noise/shaking, they probably are as annoyed as you are.

Happy Being Me said...

I have a hard enough time going to sleep and once I do staying asleep. This would be nerve racking. I agree with Cindy, try her suggestion and see if you can solve this mystery. My best to you for a good nights sleep. Take care.

Joan said...

Sorry cannot help other than suggesting are there any mines in your area or is it your central heating. LOve Joan

Sandra said...

I know exactly what you mean Kath, my ex-neighbour used to do that and it vibrated along our bedroom wall. It sounded as though it was going to take off and it drove us mad. Thankfully they`ve gone now and peace reigns once more. It`s not right that your neighbour is depriving you of sleep, its so inconsiderate. :o(

Love and ((Hugs))

Only two things come to mind. 1. A heavy freight train going through at a regular time. It is surprising how far away these can be heard.
2. Someone is picking someone up for work with a big lorry. Keeping the revs down low can set up quite a vibration. Our next door neighbour wakes me up every Friday very early when she drags out her wheelie bin (2 of them) for the dustman.

Hi Kath...I hope your keeping well and i wish you a very happy new year. Thanx for your email and your comment on my blog. I hav'nt been online the last couple of weeks as "ST" has been on my computer most of the time. Theres been quite a few changes here at home since i last posted on my blog and once again i don't know whether i'm coming or going half the time...lol.

Oh dear Kath that noise is strange. I think it sounds like heavy machinery or heavy traffic thats shaking your floorboards and you out of your bed...lol. I do hope you solve this mystery Kath...Best Wishes and Take Care Astra!

Chris/cacklinrosie101 said...

Sounds like some type of machinery is being run at the same time every night. I was going to say tremors from an earthquake, God forbid, but it wouldn't be at the same time and so constant. Would love to know if you solve this mystery...love xx

Carlene Noggle said...

Maybe an unbalanced washer??? I beleiev I would move if it kept up.
God bless you,.
love,
carlene

Lisa said...

Could it possibly be a furnace revving up? A furnace or a train is the only thing I can come up with. It's awful you are disturbed every night by this. I hope you can get to the bottom of this ~ you really do a need a good nights sleep. Please be sure to let us know if you discover what it is.
