Caterwaul
CATERWAUL
A sound unpleasant to the EAR
A screeching LUTE that’s loud and CLEAR
A sound that makes your hackles CRAWL
An EAR-drum pierced by sound wave AWL
A WART, an ULCER; leaves you RAW
No TRUCE, a WAR, against the LAW
It might sound like a Raven’s CAW
A blackboard that’s been scratched by CLAW
A CURT and very CRUEL CUT
Of sound stuck in an awful RUT
If painted it won’t be ECRU
That’s beige in ART if you’ve no CLUE
If drink, it would be bitter ALE
If read, a dark and haunting TALE
It wouldn’t be the cup of TEA
For RAT or CAT or even WE
It’s something that you’re sure to RUE
Right on CUE I swear it’s TRUE
You can’t believe the WEAR and TEAR
The sounds that come without a CARE
It tastes like something you just ATE
Way too spicy, way too LATE
It leaves a taste like old road TAR
Not CUTE; no CURE and there you ARE
CATERWAUL
