MY OLD RADIO (RADIO SILENCE)

Radio silence is on my radio once more 
Would be nice to hear a song that's for sure 
I hear cackle and static as I move the dial
Surely I will hear something in a short while

On my radio nothing is found or preset 
Had it for years with memories I can't forget 
The cackle and static grow louder with each twist
As I contemplate all the songs I may have missed 

Ten minutes later audible sounds are heard
A song by Joplin I can clearly hear every word
My radio may be old just like dear old me 
Just takes time to warm up as you can see
