Night Noises

Reverberations, of a summers night. Can't be a lawnmower overhead, must be an ultra light? Booming bass woofers, from a cruising car. With its ground shaking sound, I wonder can it be far? A barking dog, probably something up a tree. A neighborhood cat perhaps, should I go see? An ambulance, screaming from down the block. As I count twelve strikes, on our grandfather clock. A backfiring car I hear, or maybe a gun. I've only two more hours, before the rising sun. From the lack of sleep, I'm a nervous wreck. Shall I go to work? awh what the heck.
