On the Ray de oh

"...another voice selling something I do not want..."

On the Ray de oh

an insipid pop tune
but
I can not be bothered to
get up
and shut the radio off --
besides, there
might be a decent song
next, but
there is only
a voice
babbling on and on
until
another voice
selling something I do not want
do not need
can not use
and now
it is time
to get up
out of my chair
and pull the
plug
and I think
I will
too --

soon.
