The silent house is full of noise
Created round the silent toys
The boiler makes a dreadful thump
A car door slammed and made me jump
The fridge is like an orchestra
The air is filled with ringing
The doctor says its tinnitus
Like deaf Beethoven singing
A noise on a chocolate paper
In Greece was just a spider
Maybe a gecko in a shoe
Nocturnal cats have lots to do
In olden days they blamed a ghost
The letter box, the early post
The milkman, an electric car
A distant train, a cow, dog, war
But I rejoice at the world's voice
That I can hear what's near round here
Mechanical and living things
All out of tune, but try to sing
Read my words written on a page
I hear them declaimed on a stage
The songs outside, echo songs inside
My teeth grind like a great train ride.
