Lake Woe, begone

And so no more

the record spins

with Swedes and Finns,

from Kansas with

the jet stream to

Ohio, from

Minnesota

down the river

to Arkansas.

White-suit host, with

suspenders, has

gone to Denmark

(to be or not).

Laughter, laughter:

Zeus ek’lasse

(Prometheus

he enjoys) as

Clemens, in his

grave, rolls over.

(The frog jumps, from

Calaveras

County, clear to

Comet Halley.)

Bon voyage.

[The iconic radio program in question has of course since resumed, in spite of the claim at the time this was written that it was ending.]
