City Sounds
Corinne Curcio April 17th 2009

Gritty city sounds
Nature's sweet music abounds
So come on guys- lend an ear

Plump pigeons cooing
Fire escape a-wooing
The notes of amour ring clear

What's that? A "Squeak! Squeak!"
Poor mouse has begun to speak
Stuck to one of my glue traps

Surly gulls squawking
Their raucous way of talking
While dining on pizza scraps

Screeching love defines
Some caterwauling felines
With clamorous, catty glee

Sweet melodies soar
Though some of you may abhor
My tenement symphony
