Ode To A C.B. Rig

You're small and square with dials on the front,

Black and shiny with a lead from the back,

Plugged into a box which makes your lights glow

You give lots of people that something they lack.

Turn up the volume and we all can hear

Plenty of others who are just like us,

Alone and bored or maybe just shy

Talking to people without any fuss.

Hundreds of sound waves travelling in the air

Allows you to talk to places near and far,

The best thing about you is that you're so light

I can use you at home or out in a car.

By now I'm sure that everyone must know

What I'm describing down to the last degree,

My very last clue, you need a twig,

That’s right, of course, you're my special C.B.
