IN AN APARTMENT, by                    
First Line: I live in a new apartment
Last Line: And shrill violin!
Subject(s): Landlords & Tenants; Moving & Movers; Noises


I live in a new apartment
In the "Gardens" of the city;
The walls are made of parchment,
O, what a tragic pity!

The landlord said it was soundproof
From lowest floor to top roof;
Which means, alas, we've now found out,
It takes in sound but lets none out.

So we're all going mad,
With the noisy din
Of shrieking soprano
And thumping piano
And shrill violin!
