Blackbird

My blackbird is a truck.
It is employed by Sainsbury's.
Its singing is composed by brakes and buzz
And a whooshing sound that I cannot (as yet) define.

It does not sing in the dead of night
If it were so I'd probably be too dead to notice
It prefers the early hours of the morning
The no-man's-land of dawn,
Make it a couple of minutes before that.
