Hyenas And Headphones

Our neighbours a couple of doors down have moved out after what must be over 40 years and the new owners have completely gutted the house and ripped out the front and back gardens including all the hedges, plants and mature trees within less than a week.
The noise hadn't actually been too bad until today when they decided to knock down (or should that be obliterate!) the front garden wall for over 5 hours using a pneumatic drill - believe me it felt much longer!
We even tried going out for a pint at lunchtime for some respite but they were still drilling away when we got back, apart from what we presumed were the odd refreshment break.
By late afternoon I was heading towards being slightly hysterical and when it eventually stopped I swore I could still hear it and then for some odd reason I immediately thought of a Warholesque illustration I'd seen in a recent Sunday supplement entitled "Hyenas In Hysterics"  (unfortunately I couldn't find any reference to who the artist is). When I then found my brother's old headphones next to his bed, which I sorely wished I'd found much earlier, the two together rather summed up my day! :-)
