“I Propose an Uprising"


I propose an uprising,
A Coup’ as they say –
By the regular callers to KDKA
We would overthrow Gary –
For, He has said many times
That we are “the stars”,
And he, “just along for the ride.”

We would pillage his salary,
And divvy it up –
And throw him a bone,
For dog food and such –

We’d be the ones
Raking in bucks
And Ray could retire
From driving his truck –

We could Buy, and mail, Kathy
A quality phone –
So we could actually hear
Her soft spoken tone.

We could buy the Bird lady
A lifetime of seed –
And we could get help for Z-Bob
Which he so desperately needs –

We could buy “The Porch Lady”
“Lorna”, by name
A brand – new chaise lounge
And rocker the same –

We could send money to the President
To lessen the Debt –
A few hundred Million
Would make a small dent –
We could supply T.L with every movie
That ever was made –
From “A Bugs Life” to “Zorro” –
Plasma T.V Displayed –

We could send our friend Chip
And Monique his dear daughter
On a fun Disney Cruise
On Tropical waters -

We could send Mister Conspiracy,
Whose name I can’t place –
To visit 9-11 bereaved
And say the same to their face –
When he is done
Saying the things he has said –
We will pay a Good Surgeon
To re-attach his arms, legs, and head!

Oh, No, this poem is going
Where I don’t want it to go!
I say we forfeit the money –
And give back the Dough
Gary works very hard
So let’s give him his due –
Let’s unload the Ego,
And call off the Coup’

I think Millions and change
Is fair compensation
To our friend Gary Dickson
The pride of this Station!
