[cr-india] " ... poor, foolish men just call me RADIO..."

[George Lessard]

I Am a Radio by Eric H. Palmer

I am a University, right in your room.
I am an Opera sung by your fireside.
I am an orchestra to set you feet a-dancing.
I am a band to enthuse your musical soul.
I am an orator, whose eloquence holds you still.
I am a violin recital, rendered by a master at your side.
I am a statesman, conferring with you on the nation's needs.
I am a diplomat, voicing a foreign friendliness.
I am a doctor, coming to your home without charge.
I am a banker, watching your laid-away pounds.
I am a leader of industry, analysing the economic trend.
I am a newspaper, describing events as they happen.
I am a drama, played in your parlor.
I am a debate, where you hear both sides of the day's problems.
I am a football game, with thrills by the score.
I am a boxing championship, with a seat at the ringside.
I am a governess, teaching your children each day.
I am a scientist, revealing wonders that you knew not of.

All these am I,  and more.

I am a patriot, kindling anew your love of country.
I am a preacher, re-awakening your faith in human nature.
Yet, poor, foolish men just call me RADIO.
