Gershon Wolf Poet Rhyme

A Blast From Radio's Past

The time at the chime is half past a dime
   Welcome to the Wolfman Jack Show
We play the golden oldies and even some mouldies 
   We'll spin the monster mash into trash -- now that's a smash

Heh, heh, boys and girls: Tonight we've got a star-studded cast
   Buddy Holly, Jerry LEE Lewis, Little R-r-r-r-r-r-r-Richard, and last
Put your palms together for, you guessed it, the Pick of the Pack
   The Cream of the Crop, Numero Uno and rising higher all the time --
      Ha, ha! One-eyed, One-horned Flyin' Purple People-Eater!
                                    Y E A H !

Gershon Wolf July 3, 2020 at 6:32 PM Thanks, Paula... And as for age: Even my grandkids listen to '50's and '60's music. They tell me that today's music is 'trash.' So, that makes me about 15 years old, I guess! Cheers, Gershon

Paula Goldsmith July 3, 2020 at 5:45 PM Congratulations on your win. So cute and fun. Love it. Guess our age shows when we say, give us this kind of music. Have a great weekend..........

Sam Kauffman July 1, 2020 at 11:35 PM Look at you on the first place podium spinning those disks! Love this - a fav for me. Purple people eater! Congratulations on your winning whimsy and stroll down memory lane! Peace and joy my friend! Gershon Wolf July 2, 2020 at 7:12 PM Yes, Look at me. Look at me. Look at me now, said the Cat as he sat on a cow... Oops, time to put Dr. Seuss away for the day. Thanks, Sam!

Timothy Mcguire June 30, 2020 at 12:08 PM I lived it, nice memories, thanks Gershon Wolf June 30, 2020 at 7:58 PM Yeah, I lived it too, nearer the end of the Wolfman's 'reign' than the beginning, but I sure identified with him for some strange reason. lol. Thanks, Tim

Sand Blown June 30, 2020 at 2:02 AM ….remember that....but uhm….how and why is 'flying purple' a 'people eater'..... stan sand

Caren Krutsinger June 30, 2020 at 12:18 AM Ah yes. You have brought the 50s and 60s back full swing. Gershon Wolf June 30, 2020 at 8:00 PM Well, not quite 'FULL swing.'... There was great country music too: How 'bout the 'Grand Ole Opry?!' Now there was a super show!... I am still amazed by how terrific June Carter Cash and some of the others were back in the day. Thanks, Caren

Michelle Faulkner June 29, 2020 at 8:50 PM So I've always wondered - do they eat purple people, or are the people eaters purple :) Gershon Wolf June 29, 2020 at 9:47 PM You got me there. I'm turning purple trying to figure that one out! lol. Cheers, Gershon
