On The Verge of Tears

Here we go again…this is the trasncription from the January 12th, 2015 broadcast of the Howard Stern Show, when Ronnie Mund delivers a stunning rendition of his newest poem.  This is the raw material that I will attempt to re-write into something that has a little class, and a lot less words that rhyme.  

It was January 12^th in the 1950s

In a time when music and radio were kinda nifty

At this time a stork delivered a boy named Stern

Whose name would change radio and make it diffy.

As the years went by his words would be heard by many radio bosses

Who would think his manner was iffy

Along came the FCC and would turn his life into turmoil in a jiffy

Alas!  A satellite in the sky would make a venue

where Stern could say…“I got a stiffy!”

Today, 61 years later, the nifty, diffy, iffy, jiffy, stiffy  Stern

Can say to them all…”Fuck off, look what I’ve done,

look what I’ve earned!”

Happy Birthday, Du!
