The Morning Radio Guy Turns Himself Off

 

He was much of my mornings for years

His news, his jokes, his notes, his anecdotes

His affirmation of the goodness of man

Began each day with good humor and wit

 

But now he brandishes the radio waves

Like an old man threatening with his cane

By-Godding both the future and the past

Trapped forever in a 6th of January

 

Poor man! All he does now is scorn and scoff -

It’s like he’s turned his own radio off
