Lord R. E. Taylor Poet Free verse

I Need Quiet

I Need Quiet

I need a bomb
Not a big one
Nuclear would be nice
Not even a mega ounce
I need to kill them
They scream all night long
Screaming and whining
I cannot sleep
I cannot think
I just need to get rid of them
I think God made them
Placed them just to bug me
I plan
Think of ways to kill them
But they are always here
Maybe they are like cockroaches
Radiation won’t harm them
I think old school may be the way
A rock in a sling
Lobbed more than one hundred feet in the air
Aimed right
Aimed right on target
I want them dead
More than anything I have ever wanted
I should just stone those damn crows
And finally live my life in quiet

Eve Roper December 3, 2014 at 4:08 PM Crows can be pretty noisy, I heared if you put aluminum plates and hung them from the tree branches that it makes them go away, never have tried but my father-in-law use to do that on his garden. Blessing to you R.E.
