Sound

Noise, Noise all around.
The atmosphere was ablaze with the sound.
It rumbled the ground and echoed the canyons.
It shuddered the mountains and boomed the clouds
It crackled the trees and sizzled the seas
It crashed the earth and split the air
It grated my bones and wobbled my knees
It shrilled in my ear and curled my hair
It screamed and pierced my soul
I looked all around to find a hole
and tried to hide myself like a mole.
I must confess it was not a noise from hell
It was my wife as she stifled a yawn
her sweet loving voice saying
Honey when are you going to mow the lawn?
