The laughter of a child and a baby's cry

The buzz of a bee as it flies on by

The thrum of the motorway a little way off

and the gravely scratch of an old mans cough

The creak of the fence as it rocks in the breeze

The comforting shush of whispering leaves

The drone of a plane and a car door bang

and the radio noise of fans in the stands

The muffled voices of the neighbours next door

The builders van and its engine roar

The pretty tweeting of birds in song

and a ball kicked shed-side all day long

The home alarm and its piercing scream

The delightful jingle of nearing ice cream

The vacuum cleaning somewhere near

A cacophony of noise in my ear.
