When someone’s voice is on repeat,
You might begin to tap your feet;
As into music, words do change,
Sometimes the sounds we hear are strange.
 
Illusions that turn speech to song,
A musical phenomenon;
It’s a linguistic interchange,
Sometimes the sounds we hear are strange.
 
But what about a non-speech sound;
A Buzzing bee, a drooling hound.
Do these create the same exchange?
Sometimes the sounds we hear are strange.
 
A shovel scraped across a rock
Or ticking of an antique clock
Can cause our senses to derange;
Sometimes the sounds we hear are strange.
 
For whilst the sounds remain the same
There’s something stirring in your brain,
This causes them to rearrange;
Sometimes the sounds we hear
