It could be a ruffle
or the rigorous hustle,
the meow of a kitten
or the tap from the kitchen.
It could be a pretty girl
wearing a beautiful pearl.
It could be the neighbors
doing summer labors.
It could be the noise from the machine
or the sound from a car's engine.
It could be the sound of something
or the combination of everything!

It could be some notification
or sudden commotion.
Maybe an abrupt interruption
or some communication.
It could be the cry of a baby
or a telephone call from a lady.
It could be the sound of an aircraft
or the noise from a hovercraft.
If could be the loud voice of your father
or the noise from your little brother.
It could be the call from your mother
Or the scream of your little sister.
No matter the kind of distraction,
It always briefly gets our attention.
