A WORLD FULL OF NOISE

By Josie Whitehead 

World Full of Noise (A)

People shouting, dogs that bark;
Owls that hoot out in the dark.
      Paper rustling, bells that ring;
      Ducks who quack and birds that sing.

​

Sheep bleat loudly, cows say 'moo'
And don't forget 'cuckoo, cuckoo'.
      The ripple of a mountain stream;
      People whisper and they scream.

​

The piglets grunt whilst horses 'neigh'
And cockerels crow at break of day.
      The bellowing bull and purring cat.
      The sound of humans as they chat.

​

The cry of gulls and buzz of bees;
Sounds which hurt and those that please.
     Some things we wouldn't want to hear
     Whilst others please the human ear.

​

Our brains are fed the sounds we hear
Which first are captured by our ears.
     
Which are the sounds I may have missed?
      Well, write them down upon your list.
