Neighborhood Blockheads

When a pair of fighter jets
Buzzed over the parapets
They woke up the entire block

Though the pilots had regrets
But still the neighborhood frets
At each ticking of the clock

This deafening sound they battled
Their dishes chipped and rattled
And went crashing to the floor 

With nerves all spent and addled
The block packed up and saddled
No one lives here anymore
