Best Radio Show Poems

I’d been in a two-year relationship
He even got down on one knee and did propose
He’s still the only man ever to ever buy me a red rose
But his mother hated me I wasn’t the right one for her son
She put her oar in and caused...

Hey DADDY run as-fast-as-you can
You oughta-see-my-mama-oh-man
She dancin to a radio show
And bein kinda naughty-you-know

Never seen her actin this-way-before
Look she shufflin out-all-over-the-floor
It's a song that I ain-never-heard
And she just-said-one-of-them-ugly-words

Take me back to my radio days
Take me back to the simple old ways
Far away from the smoke...

Leonine, with whispy fur,
So soft it’d make a human purr.
Squinty eyes and button nose,
no stranger to a model’s pose.
Stalks the halls of Sarah’s lair,
a life of ease sublimely fair.
You may think he’s just a cat,
But we all know he’s more than that.

“Who knows what evil lurks in the hearts of men”

There once was an old time radio show called “The Shadow”

Which is how each and every show began

“The weed of crime bears bitter fruit.

Crime does not pay... The Shadow knows!”

Which was how each and every show...

One of the best entertainers of the last century,
this man’s collection of hit records is something to see!
His recording career commenced in nineteen thirty-three
He came from a small Pennsylvania town called Canonsburg.
This place is located just twenty miles south of Pittsburgh.
This famous crooner started in...

There's facts and small truths and jokes about life,
Canned laughter and the occasional song.
And there's always argued political opinions,
From big to small, right and wrong.

The guests talk, on topic, of their own field,
Never deviating from what's in their head.
And I listen and think and ponder...

While closing my eyes, I return once again
to an image that nestles at the foot of the mountains
Snow crowns San Jacinto as it shadows the valley
I am there as a child in the house with white shutters
Red brick and mortar, and siding like butter

A southern...

My favorite radio show
is Wait...Wait, Don't Tell Me!
on NPR near you.

But, it has bothered me,
over the years,
a snagging voice in sign-off background,
threatening the host will see me again next week,
as if that was the answer we had awaited,
and so hoped he would not tell us.

Why...

Gb2 's a radio show, it airs in Sydney...But there's more to know.'
Ben Fordam has been speaking out,  on the covid dictates
Roundabout on where the science meets the facts
Whether it's all altruistic.? Or do some just act?

Also acts that block, that rile and shock;...

A swinging sixties chick was I dressed head to toe in Biba
Miniskirts my mother loathed and free love too, so I was told
Music of choice was Motown and Soul that played upon my radio
At weekends tuned to Saturday Club a programme never missed
Radio Luxembourg each...

Stumbling I've seen the price,
Of not answering the call,
In touch with the Holy Spirit,
I've seen the love within us all,

I have been in the company,
Of the one who brushed sin away,
He is beautiful, loving and kind,
He asked me if I'd like to shape clay,

Now to...

The family here and reminiscing.
Hats, horns, ready for midnight kissing.
But no, not this year, not meant to be.
As sudden high winds  tore through our trees.

The windows shook, a frightening storm!, 
So, this year, no chance for hats and horns. 
At nine o’clock, we lost...

Being a lover of the classics
my show would be classically true
all the great composers would play
to lift listeners hearts that I would do

Raise the profile of young and new
these future prospects would perform
grabbing hold of today's audience
showing that this music is the norm

From dawn to...

Lying back on my recliner 
  I flipped on 
Jonathan Schwartz who plays classic jazz tunes on his radio show 
   interspersed with some classic rock
I feel relaxed - having seen the 
   latest Woody Allan movie 
Here on the...

Cell phones to the right,
cell phones to the left,
cell phones, cell phones
everywhere I look.

Red alert, stop listen!
shut up and drive,
shut up and read,
cell phones, why so many.

Everyone talking,
cell phones in cars,
cell phones in bars,
eating places, cell phones
there you can't escape
from them.

I say to myself, the...
