New Jersey, 1877
A relatively young man called Thomas
Edison invents the phonograph and
Ushers in recorded sound and records
Although Emile Berliner's idea was
To make it flat and round and playable
On both sides, A side, B side, twenty years
Later, and that product was the staple
Medium for most music fans up until
The 1980s. I remember when
I was a toddler, getting grubby paws
On my parents' discs - Ken Dodd, the Beatles
I became a paper boy, bought my own
Round slices of heaven, glamorous noise
