RADIG Remember when we had to wear The earphones on our head- And, just when we got int'rested, The fool thing would go dead? Everyone would wait his turn For the longest time it seemedg But it was worth it when it came As some soul fulfilling dream. Earphones were the Hrst to go In the wake of its advancement: Loudspeakers took their place at on And kept usin enchantment. C6 More tubes, more wires, more everything Made it grow in shape and size: But it soon began to shrink again As men became more wise. RADIO And now today it is compact In shape and form and size: When we look back from whence it came We wonder at its rise. lt has its place in every home Whether rich or poor: Its value to the human race Will evermore endure. If we'd look into the future To iind out what's in store, l know that we'd discover Television in the fore. For this great stride in radio Very soon will come And be right here for everyone To have in every home. The Nations spread around the globe All seem like friends next door. Across the wide expanse between Go messages galore. The miracle that's ours today- The blessings that it brings The help, the cheer, momentous news On swift and silent wings! So now we'll ponder for a bit Of the bounties it has brought, The many talents it has found, The lessons it has taught. Without it in these modern times What a tiresome world we'd be! I really think its death would spell A great catastrophe! Norman Knobloch
