When you live in the city,
There are many, many joys;
But as apartment dwellers,
You are subject to some noise.
If you live on an avenue,
You hear the buses pass;
And car alarms and sirens
Spew eruptions to harass.
I live next to the garbage chute,
So often I hear banging;
And steam inside the pipes creates
A symphony of clanging.
Today, though, there was something new –
A constant chirping beep.
It’s been non-stop and I suspect
Tonight I will not sleep.
Perhaps a neighbor set her clock
And left before it rang;
Or else the smoke detector
Chose this moment to harangue.
Whatever is the culprit,
My complaining is in vain.
The only thing I’m sure of
Is it’s driving me insane!
