The Golden Age

the little boy
saw the world
with his ears

before television
early 1930’s
radio’s golden age

eagerly waiting

to hear adventures of

sam spade
ellery queen
ozzie and harriet

to laugh with

abbot and costello
red skelton
burns and allen

to get the play-by-play from

don dunphy
joe dimaggio
ronald reagan

cheer for
green hornet
superman
lone ranger

be amazed by
Dr IQ
x minus one

scared by
dracula
tales from the crypt

terrified by
war of the worlds

to figure it out with

perry mason
sherlock holmes
charlie chan

to answer
the $64,000 question

now in the early ‘20’s
the golden age of cell phones
and internet

the blind old man
sees the world
with his ears
