New technology in it's infant state i don't wanna waste laughter.



Sound for Sale,

Sound is a source of energy that can be used by you,
I’ve always known that yelling had a hidden value,

To illustrate a microphone generates a current flow,
And you could charge a battery, with many, don’t you know,

If it were strong enough, just think what could be found,
Energy around the clock, made from all the sound,

Research of course is underway, because this will work at night,
Just think on cloudy days, it doesn’t need the sun light,

Every freeway, street and alleyway a constant source of power,
Rain or snow or sunlight shining there’s noise for every hour,

In the city or on the beach sound of something near and far,
And that bullet train to nowhere might help charge your electric car,

First, of course, there’ll be technology for all your pocket stuff,
I maybe now should end this here, the ol'dog house is cold and rough,

The wife’s cell phone always over charged from talkin now what more,
I’m lookin now to make sure, I have a key to our front door!

What a coincidence! The damn TV in the kitchen just came on making a lot of noise making it difficult for me to dictate this answer to your clever poem. For the last two days, when we turn that TV off by pushing the button because we lost the remote a long time ago, the damn thing starts up later on its own. The only way to stop that from happening is to unplug the TV. Right now I can't reach even that turnoff button from my wheelchair. Will have to wait for my tenant's help later.

So here I am, in the doghouse this morning struggling and yelling at my computer microphone so that I can tell you my noisy tale.

But what if, all that electric stuff gets whisper quiet and the only noise will be at political rallies, rap and rock star concerts, and fireworks. There will be no way to make electricity from quiet, will there? But it will be nice to hear the birds, tree frogs, crickets and katydids again, until the thunder nearly knocks me out of bed. Now that's one power source we ought to really figure out how to harness!

All that technically sound energy, Tom, to take it out on the Boss Lady yackety-yacketing on her portable. You'll need more than the front-door key to get locked out on the back porch.

It does make much sense though: after all the heat generated by sound. There's the other kind of alimentary type sound that cows in New Zealand are being blamed for climate change, I mean the methane produced from burbs and f.... Rockets backfire, too, so that's how - as an air-force research engineer - you got the bright idea for the dig at the B-L, no ?
