Peaceful (Not)!

I want a peaceful day-

I woke up this morning,

And my brother was yawning,

My other was screaming,

And it was all seeming,

Like a herd of elephants!


I want a peaceful day-

The washing is going,

And the water is flowing,

The noise of a motorbike,

All sounded like,

A herd of elephants!


I want a peaceful day-

People are thumping,

And also bumping,

Cars are going whizz,

It definitely is,

A herd of elephants!


I want a peaceful day-

I really do, I do,

With all this noise around,

Buzzing round and round,

I WANT A PEACEFUL DAY!
