And That’s My Vinyl Offer


To Peter Carl Goldmark we

Owe the format of LP

(The ones that spin at 33).


And thus did Goldmark seal the fates

Of discs that played at different rates,

(Like 45s and 78s).

Unlikely Speculation


I wonder if Sylvia Syms

Was tempted by lighthearted whims

To vary her style

At the Cafe Carlyle

With old-fashioned Protestant hymns.
