The exercise:

The starter for today is: unwanted noise.

Mine:

Scooter driving up and down the lane,
Louder than a locomotive train.
I don't think the engine is quite right,
It's like it's losing the will to fight.

I would be happy to end its pain -
The clamor is driving me insane.
And when that damn scooter sees the light,
I have to admit: it'll make my night.

I tried the foam ones. They did work quite well, but they stretch the ear-canal -cause an awful ear-ache. Those other ones? Those ridiculous rolled-up carpets of waxy cotton? They do insulate from distraction, but all the constant re-molding is too much. And they're white so they show all the dirt. Pleh! Who wants to stick that in their ears? I'm liable to get an ear-infection. Or should i say you're liable for my probable ear-infection if you dont turn your damn TV off!!! At the very least, could you please just turn it down?

Thank-you. That's better...now where was i? Oh yes..."teleology"...form follows function...i have ears because i have a need to hear...here...here i am...where are you now?

Do you want to go out for a walk with me?

Thanks for the contribution, that was great!

I really liked the hear/here part.
