Some meticulously observant souls
who seem to
miss nothing with their
roving eyes
Have written Mil, saying
"What is that
Roadrunner Pin
doing there
on yore Coober Pedy?"
"It's not an Aussie Bird,"
they say.
"Did you win it, some way?"
they ask.
"Well," I could say---
(using "Poetic License,"
which some call "plain-old-
lying,")
...something like
"I outran coupla hunnert
older people in a Marathon!"
"Whaddaya think of them
apples?"
But I'll level with ya.
I awarded it to myself
for the time when
KOB RADIO had a
"NAME OUR RADIO
TRAFFIC CHASE CAR,"
contest, on the air!
and I won, with
"ROADRUNNER."
Larry, the radio host, and
fellow honchos
took me out to dinner at
The Gin Mill.
A good dinner it was too
with my regaling
and hob-nobbing (with) those
important radio guys....
But I needed something
tangible
to remind myself of
my greatness...
and so----
THE ROADRUNNER PIN.
Good thing too, as
FAME
is very fleeting.
