Friday 55 Flash Fiction #197 Noisy....






That noise is driving me mad, he thought.,

What a time to be practising singing.

No consideration for people who are trying to sleep.

Put a pillow over my head.

I'm at my wit's end, if I had a gun I'd shoot them.

I suppose it's no use complaining,

No-one can stop the Dawn Chorus.


Friday 55 Flash Fiction is brought to you by G-man (Mr Knowitall). The idea is you write a story in exactly 55 words. If you want to take part pop over and let G-man know when you've posted your 55.

    I hear it every morning. I guess sometimes it can be a bit loud.

    As someone who works nights and has to try and sleep during the day this hits home.

    Awww. Poor birds! One or two round our way can be a bit 'scratchy' though!

    Nice 55.

    I like it too Brian but only if I've had a good night. ;)

    Scratchy voices can grate on the nerves AJ LOL

    Never heard a woodpecker dawn chorus Bankerchick, but imagine it could cause a headache. ;)

    Sometimes, very rarely, I feel that way about the whip-poor-wills at night.

    That's an upsetting thought Valerie, no Dawn Chorus. :(

    *smile* Dumdad

    Don't you get it there G-man?

    When you're trying to get to sleep I guess Nara?

    Thanks Mama Zen x

    we have an overhang between the first and second floor
    the birds love perching there, usually at dawn and usually over my bedroom window
    since they're NJ birds they don't sing as much as they seem to be cussing at each other ;)
