Once upon a time, in a world so grand,
There lived a little boy, who loved to lend a hand.
He dreamt of one day, becoming an engineer,
And creating machines, that everyone would cheer.

He loved to listen to the radio, all day long,
To his favourite tunes, he would hum along.
The FM station played, the best hits around,
And the little boy loved how they made such a sound.

One day he met, a radio host so great,
Who taught him about, the music on the airwaves.
She explained to him, about the cume and the cue,
And how to make sure, his shows were never askew.

The little boy learned, about the credits too,
And how to give them, to those who were due.
He also learned, how to feed the sound,
Into the microphone, and out all around.

With this knowledge, he set out to make,
His own radio show, for everyone's sake.
He turned on the mic, and started to speak,
And soon his voice, became a radio freak!

He played the best hits, that he loved the most,
And everyone who listened, became his host.
The little boy became, a radio star,
And he shone so bright, both near and far.

So if you ever listen, to a radio show,
And hear a young voice, that you don't know,
Just remember this tale, of the little boy who,
Became a great engineer, and a radio host too.
