You told me once
of the distinctive jingle
that announced my station
when I could steal away
for a few moments
to speak
to see
to connect
Over that long distant airwave
You told me I was one
of two
the other your son
who you wanted to know
was on the other end
so you could be certain
to take the call
I wonder
have I now been
dismissed
replaced
discharged
reassigned
to a lesser status
Or would you still get a tingle
if you heard my jingle?
