Ode to BBC Radio

Trust BBC for your global news

In calming voices with neutral views

Of all the stations I could choose

I go for BBC

With that said, it’s all that I can get

NPR an ocean away, I fret

With it’s clever coverage, shows and yet

I have to hear BBC

Even the trivial shows have a serious lull

The radio dramas and stories often so dull

Give me sound of old Karl Casell

Or some fire on BBC

It’s easy to forget that it’s run by state

An idea that most Americans would hate

But instead British people accept it as fate

That the authorities run the BBC

Radio journalism at its best

I mean it in earnest, I don’t protest

It wins awards and stands up to the test

We all count on the BBC
