Sound Behind the Door

—The sense of sound—

He was curious, he opened the door,
he heard a scream, then he yelped.

He suddenly banged the door,
someone cawed from behind the door,

it changed to crackle crackle,
then became an incessant echo.

He again opened the door and heard,
the roomful echo changed to murmuring stream,

then turned into rumbling violin. He whined 
for annoying sound, then he whooped, then 

he yelled, finally he smiled and yodeled 
for his curiosity made him aware of 

many different sounds there are 
in the behind closed door.
