Noise Pollution
Ruben J. Ramos is a tireless worker
And a wonderful husband and dad
Adored and revered by kith and kin
Despite the minor flaw that he had
As soon as he had hit the sack
Ruben began to snore
These nasal spasms were so intense
He once blew off a door
Though his dwelling is reinforced
By the finest Canadian lumber
The house would quake and walls did shake
When he began his slumber
It wasn’t merely Ruben’s house
Which swayed on its foundation
Readings upon the Richter Scale
Alarmed seismologists across the nation
Friends and neighbors offered cures
And various home remedies
He ate raw garlic and slept on his back
And played harmonious melodies
Alas, nothing worked until one day
They came up with a solution
Bankers allow him to sleep in the vault
And there’s no more noise pollution
