Poetic Bloomings anachronistic

 

Anachronistic

 

My son is a bit anachronistic.

When he was 8, he discovered old-time radio.

Someone had bought a set of cassettes

of the old shows for my mother:

Burnes & Allen, Fibber McGee & Molly,

Abbot & Costello, Jack Benney, Phil Harris,

Our Miss Brooks and the Bickersons.

 

Being homeschooled, we encouraged

him to follow his own bent.

He spent hours with the old comedians

and even had some of their routines memorized.

If you want to relive the old radio days,

talk to my son, he knows more about them

than the eighties when he grew up.
