Poem reminiscent and descriptive of the aspiring poet's father's life as a radio and television writer. Written in 2000, the year of the man's death, the work offers many references to pop culture names of both actors and shows, which are no longer playing but were popular in their time. An "experimental" and earlier work of the aspiring Poet Peter Menkin, a text of the poem appears on Peter Menkin blog. This audio reading by the poet Peter Menkin created for posting on Archive.org. Selected words from the poem:
Regarded the ministrations of his soul in
Concert with others, in a group experience
That brought to the little houses and manifold
Riches of Art Carney and the cigarette smoking
Jackie Gleason a merry mailman on twomountains.
My father played badminton in the backyard and
Hunt and pecked a radio writer's dream
