Talk Back Radio

Now a days talk back radio is a must,
it's truly amazing the topics, that are discussed.
Drugs, sex, health, and steamy affairs.
Politics, children that have run amuck,
coming over the ether for  the world to share.

A teenage girl pregnant, asking for advice,
crying over the phone saying that she had heard,
that abortion was ugly, and not nice.

Men saying that they were going to cut their wrists,
or take a load of pills,
wanting someone to save them before their life blood spills.

Used cars, washing machines for sale,
why one woman  rang up to say,
that she thought her roof was coming off,
in the howling gale.

The talk back host just grins, and bears it all,
and says,
 "Thank you for sharing your interesting call"
