Hums

There is that repetitious hum
 as clothes in the wash are spun,

the fridge plays some offbeat melody
 while you struggle to find something good on tv;

for a moment there is that ring
 of telephone marketers selling everything

all they really want to get
 is your credit card number to put you in deeper debt;

step outside and breathe in fresh air
 a hum will rise escaping all care,

so don't despair

 a tune, a song, some mixed blend
 can bring you calm and be your best friend.
