Serenading Tonic

Pitter patter of voyeuristic neighbors on retreat
An obsurd rapper missing a beat
A noisy fan having his posterior put on his seat
The last gasp of a coffee pot removed from the heat
A pesky pan handler groaning when being taken off the street
Interrupting rain in a boring soccer match turning into sleet
Whizzing mosquitos fizzing when sprayed with deet
Choppy waters cutting down showman, water skier's feet
Raspy moans of greedy kids when no candy results from trick or treat
Purring of a well-behaved baby that does not often bleat
