Huddled here in the warmth of my little office against a cold and snowy New England day, I can still imagine Jean Shepherd reciting that poem over the transistor radio I kept under my pillow as a kid.

[Little Bill]

There was a DJ on WMEX, Boston era, who did a lot of poetry on the Midnight hour he did this one, and many others, it was pretty good.

I first hear this poem and many, many others from my Mother who used to recite poetry to us at nap time when I was a kid.
