I Did Not Leave the Local A.M. Radio Station –

The Local A.M. Radio Station Left Me

 

-As President Reagan did not say

 

The guys on the local talk radio used to be fun

Witty and charming, with good stories to tell

Through example, narrative, joke, and pun

They really made the early morning swell

 

But of late they’ve withered into the stereotype

Of geezery, wheezery, close-minded old men

Whose sole purpose now is to grump and groan and gripe –

They’re somewhere to the right of Original Sin!

 

Since all they do now is but scorn and scoff

I begin my day with the radio off
