Be Careful What You Ask For


My voice is gone, I cannot speak,

With throat so sore it burns and aches.

Knives must have cut away the sound

And left a silence in their wake.

I prayed for silence just last week -

Please, dear God, for pity's sake

Surely some quiet can be found -

The noise I wanted you to take!

This wasn't what I had in mind.

Now I'm afraid your aid to seek

For fear my hearing will be next

If I again ask for relief

From clangs and bangs of any kind,

Telephones, tv's, mouse's squeak.

Is it a cold, or am I hexed?

My voice is gone, I cannot speak.
