“Can you hear me?” “Can you hear me?” …. “Come-in”
Boys with “walkie-talkies”, walking and talking, squealing and squawking
The girls were chalking – on the sidewalk
Range, one quarter mile. More over water, the box said
If all you hear is static
Run some wire in your attic
Or tie it to your gutter
“Can you hear me?” You may utter
Copper wire strung on a fence
For Russian signals the pretense
Every beep, buzz and whistle
Was that to do with someone’s missile?
A weather fax for steaming ships, “doodle doodle” sound
Deadly tips!
Vacuum tubes soft-lit for me
RCA, Westinghouse, and GE
Their glow-warm magic casting a spell
A hook set lightly - I could not tell
Gizmos, and gadgets, in crate after crate
Rolled into the business - helped shape my fate
War surplus it was, "truck's in" they would holler
Purchased for two-bits on the dollar
So thank you Dad – the hook you set
grew into a job, my needs were met
A needed change, a needed change
