The End of an Era

My bathroom has a radio

Connected to the switch

That controls the light, so people think

That there’s some kind of glitch.

 

But whoever needs to use it

Hears the weather and the news

And the traffic and the sports

And some instructive interviews.

 

Now those voices, so familiar,

Will be missing since I’ve learned

That the station, CBS-AM’s

About to be adjourned.

 

Also called News 88, it’s been,

For close to 60 years,

Keeping all New Yorkers up to date

With news as it appears.

 

I know change is bound to happen

But I will not have a clue

About all the latest news if I

Don’t hear it in the loo!
