Windows Poem by Phil Soar

I've had new windows fitted
They are Triple/Double glazed
I didn't think such things exist
But I have been amazed
You cannot hear the outside world
From Inside my abode
Not a bird, or even rain,
Or cars upon the road
It feels like I have gone quite deaf
A strange and worrying fact
My smell is as it always was
My vision still intact
But the sound of life
Outside my door
Has all but disappeared
The sound of silence deafening
And worse than I had feared
The salesman rang the other day
To check if I was home
I couldn't take the call from him
I couldn't hear the phone
I couldn't hear him knock the door
I couldn't hear him screaming
I sat in the conservatory
Asleep and really dreaming
Oblivious to sound outside
I snored away the day
And when I woke at half past two
The man had gone away
It's nice to notice silence
If you live alone, it's great
So go and get your windows done
Before it is too late.
