No Radio No More

***** My car radio abruptly ceased function pushed buttons off and on--nothing-- a loose wire was the final deduction hit radio hard, had to try something now have a bruise on my hand and no music AM or FM or band **** Simply too busy to get it fixed started singing to get my kicks hadn't sung for so long, of course started coughing and then got hoarse the silence was unnerving at first my random thoughts I began to nurse **** In the silence my thoughts took charge of the time, enticing me with new ideas small, medium and large then raging with revelations and rhymes then purpose of my life at this time revealed, an epiphany if you will **** No distractions as when you are home so much that needs done, I groan and moan thoughts are scattered like seeds on a field daily demands will endanger the yield but now my car has found peace and quiet, she can't deny it this space has assumed a different face **** My spouse says the radio must be fixed he found someone to fix it super quick says is too quiet when we take a trip to be alone with his thoughts he is not equipped I said NO to the quick repair, not any this nonfunctioning radio was meant to be **** NO RADIO NO MORE ****

Silence is certainly golden at times as depicted in your clever creative at times humorous poem Jeanie! I can kind of relate even though my radio works; don't get many stations and the ones I do get stink! Will just listen to cds if I have to!~Che :)
