Watch What You Say On the Air

If you are host of a radio program each day,
the best advice is to be careful of what you say.
Say the wrong thing, and millions of people are annoyed.
Loss of sponsorship can leave anyone unemployed.
There are many persons sensitive to prejudice.
Flagrant racist remarks will render you no justice.
Networks pull the plug on you, and you are out the door.
Utterance of the wrong words, and you are heard no more.

Clever write, Robert. Again, I take my hat off to you - this type of rhyme is hard. :) M
