Show 9- ? THE NUISANCE THE other night, not feeling bright, I thought at home I'd stay; I'd rest a bit and get more fit to meet a busy day. "I'll take a look at some good ; .! book, and smoke a pipe," I said; "an easy chair, gome solitaire, at ten I'll be in bed." The chaps who miss a night like this, I thought, need sympathy; sym-pathy; the old "white way" Is nice and gay, but not tonight for me. I like to go to some good show, then have a little spree; they're fun all right, but for tonight to-night that's not the life for me. Alas for plans I It Is not man's to have things as be will; my eve of rest was far from blessed, 'twas but a bitter pill. Planned for delight, my restful night was destined for a blow; for through the air came blank despair from someone's radio. It had a horn a kid should scorn, reception amplified; It sang and talked and screeched and squawked, 'twls midnight ere It died. Some chap was fain to entertain the whole community; commu-nity; for four straight hours 'twos "April showers" or some rag melody. My friend, go slow tvifh radio; , outside your homo may be some tlred-out chap who'd like n nap, to from all jazz be free. I loVl ' try to drown the whole dnrii'-d town; the things that are your J ' joys, to someone's ear perhai'S j appear as just UNWELCOME 1 NOISE. Science and Invention Hnd Radio I Newa.) I L 3 |
