INTRODUCTION TO LIFE PART ONE
Tinnitus started with me quite young,Having a hypersensitivity hearing no fun.
Let me explain how my introduction
to noise started.
Mum and dad getting up at 6am,
This was the way my life was fated.
Father with his sargent majors voice
Always resonated,
This was the year the government changed
The age of adulthood to eighteen from
Twenty one,
The age I cut my apron strings, My apologies
to my dad and mum.
Know living in a bedsit in London within a house
Getting woken up by scampering and squeaking
Of a tiny mouse.
Tiny feet running across my bed at night
Gave my imagination such a fright
Reggae music pumping out almost every night
For heaven's sake wanted to sleep not stay awake
Shift work fresh french loaf smell one morning
Put on table 6am jumped back into bed
Change of shift today woke up later than I'd expect
At least I had time to cut into my french stick
Tried mousetraps mice missed them pretty quick
Picked up bread felt light saw a tiny hole felt disgust
while I sleep those tiny mice had eaten all the bread
only leaving the outside crust .
