I don't like pealing belfrys,

seat belt warning sounds,

or Chinese wind chimers.


I don't like telephone tolls,

reversing light bleepers or

hand brake ringing signals. 


I don't like juggernaut horns 

ambulance sirens train engine 

hoots or aeroplane drones.


I don't like rock breakers 

chipping pile drivers hitting 

or rail carriages shunting


I don't like echoes in tunnels

gurgling in funnels and I don't

like a chainsaw when groaning.


But surely, the most adverse

of all, is when the Palestine

Sunbird, is silent in her cage.
