Have You Heard?
©1992 Susan Noyes Anderson
A noisy noise annoys an oyster,
(a little known fact, yet true).
But a rackey racket attracts a raccoon;
does that make any sense to you?
If a whimpering whippoorwill warbles at dawn,
what must woodpecking woodpeckers do?
Why, just what they please with a rat-a-tat-tat
and a tippety-tappety, too!
