When a deaf little child

Turns ten,

A balloon That once just lost air

Started to make this small, hissing sound.

 

And the leaky faucet in her bathroom

Began to tap on the marble bowl she washed her hands in.

 

When this deaf little child

turned ten

She went outside

And bees, buzzed

Her brothers whistle, whistled

Oh this glorious ,amazing shilling noise that just,

Was the most annoying sound

 

Oh but this deaf little child didn't mind at all

Because when she turned ten,

She began to hear whizzing and wherring

And paper, oh paper scared her the most

She said it sounded like it was breaking

 

That one, deaf little child

Turned ten

And blew out all ten of their candles

And after everyone sang

And she heard herself laugh
