Noise Day

Let’s have one day for girls and boyses

When you can make the grandest noises.

Screech – hiccup – whistle – shout,

Laught until your lungs wear out,

Toot a whistle, kick a can,

Bang a spoon against a pan,

Sing, yodel, bellow, hum,

Blow a horn, beat a drum,

Rattle a window, slam a door,

Scrape a rake across the floor,

Use a drill, drive a nail,

Turn the hose one the garbage pail,

Shout Yahoo – Hurrah – Hooray,

Turn up the music all the way,

Try and bounce your bowling ball,

Ride a skateboard up the wall,

Chomp your food with a smack and slurp,

Chew – chom – hiccup – burp.

Onde day a year do all of these,

The rest of the days - - be quiet please.

-Shel Silverstein
