Unwanted Noises

my heads about to burst cant take no more that damn squeaking of that broken barn door the dog is barking a car horn blows a baby is crying as someone blows their nose birds out there squawking my wife coughing the old bed springs 3 in the morning and my phone rings the cats meowing what am I going to do and what the hell is that out therekeep screaming who crickets chirping in the tall grass and now a hee haw from that old dumb ass damn that rooster and his cock-a-doodle-do its 4 in the morning are they really playing the blues rain is falling on that tin roof top is that the bad weather siren or is that the cops someone walking through the house and the floor creeps I guess its about obvious that im not getting any sleep That’s why I write because I have no other choice Cause all night long I hear these crazy noises
