MASTER OF THE AIR
Marconi claimed me
Though Tesla was
My true father
The custody battle
Outlasted both
I was a miracle
Before the Wright boys even flew
Mastered the air
While they were still tinkering
Speaking first in clipped tones
Set off by sparks
I shocked the world
When the great ship sank
Then I found my true voice
Sang lullabies to farm kids
And told everyone
About the Great War
Sure beat that Victrola
Caught even Mr. Edison
By surprise
But when they shrank me
I really took off
Spent summers at the beach
Singing surfer tunes
And serenading lovers
At Lookout Point
