Beautiful Silence

© Musue N. Haddad

There is silence.
Here, there, yonder,
Where are the folks?
Not the ones who gloat;
Theirs is nuisance.
As for the goats,
Annoying bleaters!
Pass the ones who groan.
It is hindrance.
Ah, ah! Not the crooks.
I’ll pay fee of sixpence;
For sure voidance.
Rather march with the grouts,
A silent mergence,
Without grievance.
