This early autumn edition of the bulletin contains tasty reminders of the WMT 60th anniversary in the park, our visit to the City Farmers Market, and of course, our wonderful contributors on the phone. In response to a negative call, one of the gong offers this poetic treatment of that nasty little word. REPEATS.
Please Repeat That Repeat
About 2:11 p.m. I sit down With my pen and paper at hand. Dave Hinman starts the recipe I want. I'm thinking, "Boy, this is Just grand." I write down, "2 cups of sugar, 3 eggs and 2 cups of flour. " Then Dave's voice stops and the radio's dead. Yes, the R.E.C.'s cut off the power. Some days I get nearly all of it written Right on down to "Top with crumbs." But when I try writing the time and the temps, About then the UPS man comes. Next time the recorder I click on, It's so handy when Dave is in haste. That night I rewind and restart the thing. You've got it, the tape's been erased. I admit to times when I listen while I'm cleaning up in the attic The transistor's ready and I turn it on And half way through I get static. On Wednesdays I hurry home in the car, North on highway 150 I'm flying. I want to remember the repeats I hear; I don't get them all, but I'm trying. Or else I'm waiting at a stop light. Believe me, I am scribbling fast. Right in the middle I can't hear any more. I'm deafened by some semi horn blast! One day a great recipe come on And I thought, "Oh boy, I'm in luck." Between eggs and vanilla my husband come in Yelling, "Come out and see the new truck." Some people who read this will say, I suppose, That all of these things can't be true. I know it sounds strange, but they, happen to me. Don't some of them happen to you? Though recipes heard twice make some persons frown And they say that to them it's no treat, I'm glad when I get all the ingredients down. So please, Dave, do repeat that repeat. Hope you enjoy our latest offerings. . . in the next bulletin, watch for information about holiday greetings from the Open Line.
