The Windsor Hum



They say that up in Canada a subtle humming noise
Is causing mass hysteria and loss of equipoise.
Governments and colleges have looked about in vain
To find the cause of this selective auditory bane.
For some can hear it constantly, while others are untouched --
Those who fall beneath its spell have heads quite tightly clutched.
Victims of this baffling sound cannot sleep through the night;
Their heads do pound like pistons and their nerves are dynamite.
The eggheads say that infrasound may be the culprit here.
But what the hell that word might mean they cannot make quite clear.
Blast furnaces on Isle de Zug are blamed for all the din;
But operators there refuse their thick lips to unpin.
The ghostly racket also runs in towns like Kokomo,
Where people have been known to flee to far off Borneo.
Me, I think the spectral hum comes from the faint kazoo
Of Mother Nature, who in Trump has met her Waterloo.
