Barking dogs and quarry trucks <br />Rambling down my street. <br />With so much noise in my ears <br />It’s really hard to sleep. <br /> <br />It’s a beautiful day, and I should be glad <br />That I’m here to see it, <br />But I just can’t think about that now <br />Cause the noise, I can’t flee it. <br /> <br />So I’ll drown it out with Rock-n-Roll, <br />And lay me down to sleep. <br />But the Beatles and the Rolling Stones <br />Just won’t let me keep <br /> <br />My eyes closed tight in satisfaction, <br />In my bed made of feathers, <br />So I’ll lay awake and listen to ‘em, <br />Cause their noise is much better.<br /><br />Sandra Osborne<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/daytime-noise/
