Listen to poem:

What Noise Annoys

Buoy noise annoys an oyster in bed
Grandma hates Galahs screeching overhead
My dog can't stand vacuum cleaner whirl
Kids hate the noise of nails on chalkboard swirl

Annoyance of noise builds to crescendo
Repeating over again with echo
Noise repeats twice or thrice can be ignored
But after that noise bellows to discord

What annoys are people that hum away,
Those that drum on table with fingers stray
What truly annoys is repetition
Dripping away gouging a submission.
