The Tale of The House in Sounds

The CRUNCHING of tyres on the gravelly driveway The CLANG of the garden gate sharply closing The CLICK of the key in the lock The old door CREAKING open on its hinges The SNAP of the light switch to brighten the house The SWISH of the curtains being drawn The CLATTER of crockery being laid on the table The GUSH of water from the tap into the kettle The WHISPER ,HISS and SPLUTTER of the boiling kettle The annoying SLURP of a GULP of tea The CHORTLE of laughter around the table The SCRAPING of chairs being drawn back The CRACKLE of the open fire in the sitting room The SCRATCH of a match to light the pipe The comfort of being indoors at the first CLAP of thunder The even more comforting CLINK of glasses for a safe homecoming
