I hear the sound of great elephants trumpeting

 each time I open the door of my dishwasher;

The sound of distant drums beating .....

coming from the pipes underneath my sink.

A Cat cries out. My chirping smoke detector answers.

Running water is somehow peaceful as long as it stays in the sink. 

I trip slightly over a sleeping animal in the underbrush.

No, this is not the Serengeti. It is simply my kitchen,

 although, sometimes it makes me wonder ..... LOL
