First Walk With Hearing Aids

Listen to poem:
Click Clack Click, clack Click, clack, click Click Clack Click, clack Click, clack, click On a steady morning walk - Got a rhythm going Hearing aids in And yes, I'm "strollin'" Click Clack Click, clack Click, clack, click Noisiest coat in the world. Thunk Rain drops falling Thunk Click, clack, thunk Click, clack, clunk Thunk, click, clack Yes - The noisiest coat in the world. Forget it. Focus. Enjoy the beat Feel the rhythm Listen to the tweets Tweets?! Birds? Cool, that's sweet Tweet. Click. Clack. Thunk. Tweet. Clack. Click. Clunk. Engines ever revving Bus burps and roars Noises from everywhere Just walk. Don't pause. Roar. Click. Growl. Thunk. Burp. Tweet. Rev. Clunk. Cold crisp morning Breath hangs in the air Echoes in my ear drum Like a symbol and a snare Loud conversation - Don't look back. Scrape of the foot Catch a puddle with a splat Breathy bash Puddle splash Click, clack Click, clack, clunk Got a pace going there And enjoyed the view Tiny terrier yaps Yes, I heard you - thank you! Yap. Bloody yap. Click, thunk, clack. Keys at the ready As I get to my door Clang & bang as they jangle And pick the paper from the floor Even newspaper's noisy Rustles loudly - what a pain. Hearing aids - OUT For quiet sanity again No more click, no more clack…
