PORTRAITS By James J. Metcalfe Radio Nights / used to hurry home from work . . . To sit around at night . . . And read some book or magazine . . . Or take my pen and write . . . And while my stride is just as quick . . . When homeward bound these days . . . I must acknowledge now that I . . . Have somewhat changed my ways . . . Because when I step in the house . . . / only want to know . . . What entertainment there will be . . . Upon the radio . . . And all I do is settle down . . . In some big, restful chair . . . And listen to the voices and . . . The music on the air . . . I do not want to read or write . . . Or do another thing . . . But hear the news and plays, and hear . . . The people laugh and sing.
