In this morning's waiting room And then the café, breaking bread - I might have read, Engaged in reverie Lost myself in thoughts, Or meditative memory. But someone overruled To agitate the air With an imbroglio With the inane, vain, Smug banter of local radio. It claimed the arena, And turned our space From haven into mayhem, Compulsively silting up My poor, empty ears With an unhealthy sound. Like painting out the view Behind Beata Beatrix With a filthy fairground. Just what we need! This constant aural cattle-feed. So: every tree in my opinion - (I'm speaking as a lowly minion) Should be hung with massive speakers Huge loudspeakers, woofers, tweeters, To entertain us in every place With never-ending drum and bass, Then verbose youths, with wit so clever Can pump us full of **** forever.
