A Noisy House

A noisy House Banging, clanging screaming, squealing babies crying Mothers shouting Keep quiet! Dancing, singing jumping, thumping grannies munching Mothers shouting keep quiet! Chatting, laughing clapping, slapping children scratching Mothers shouting keep quiet!........... I sit here in this noisy house in a far corner as quiet as a mouse With pencil and book and Ipod in ears writing my poems where nobody cares.

LOL! Sounds so typical of me sometimes. Listening to my iPod and shutting the everyday elements out! This poem brought a smile to my face. Wishing you a wonderful weekend. Peace always, John

Ahhhhh but I do care! Why are you not in your simple chair? Why do you not run and kiss Mom's cheek? Hugs the Grannie as you take a leap. Tickle the kids and aid the chaos, to fill with joy that lovely house! Light & Love d
