Nuisances

Clanging street-ca'rs,
A pulsing head,
The neighbor's radio,
A squeaky bed,
Out-of-place furniture, Curled up rugs,
Mosquitoes, and other Belligerent bugs,
 Awkward bundles,
 A leaky tap,
And curtains that blow
 In the wind, and flap
If items too minor
 To merit mention
All get their share
Of your attention,
Why shouldn't I
With polite persistence
 Keep you aware
Of my existence?
