I'd like to make a poem of Bernie's | 1 |
wordings almost gone to powder, | 2 |
| |
or perhaps more like the Diamond | 3 |
Disc spins off at eighty-per, | 4 |
sentiments of sound estate | 5 |
| |
while tracing out a poem for Bernie-- | 6 |
I'll strain along like Edison | 7 |
biting wood for sound conduction | 8 |
(mastoid bone to drum deaf ears). | 9 |
| |
Pardon, please, but I digressed. | 10 |
Allow me to begin again? | 11 |
| |
~ | 12 |
| |
In a chair, set with a book, | 13 |
and a cat in curl, is Bernie-- | 14 |
| |
called to stir | 15 |
| |
a Christmas pudding made for him | 16 |
by one as loved as the old song | 17 |
phonographing her of keeps, | 18 |
| |
"I'll take you home again Kathleen" | 19 |
