All day long I hear sirens
people arguing outside,
as trucks pass on the highway
the whole house starts shaking
it kind of feels like an earthquake,
every Monday the air raid siren sounds
followed by the heavy voice in the speaker
"It is only a test" is what the voice says,
helicopters fly overhead and the birds fly away
frightened by the giant loud propellers,
so many different sounds are projected
if only there was a remote to pause it all.
