>>     THE PSALM OF RADIO
>> Radio is my hobby: I shall want no other.
>> It maketh me to stay home at night.
>> It leadeth me into much trouble.
>> It draweth on my purse.
>> I go into the paths of debt for its sake.
>> Yea, though I understrand it perfectly, it will not oscillate.
>> Its concerts and speeches, they comfort me,
>> Yet it will not work in the presence of my friends.
>> I anoint the coils with shellac:
>> But the tube spillith over,
>> Surely the bug will follow me all the days of my life,
>> And I will dwell in the house of the radio fan forever.
