Yesterday someone brought over a printout  

Well into the two‑inch‑thick dump of records

For a short stretch the small records

Were jammed together on the page  

As the person was turning pages

A name caught my eye: J. McCartney  

Later I finally got to look at a record

Generated in a different policywriting system  

This one was to be my specimen  

It involved J. McCartney  

After work Maureen and I stopped in Lakewood  

At the record store we were looking through

Hundreds of specially priced albums

When I pulled a recent Ringo record out to look at it  

Opening the cover (it was not wrapped in cellophane)

The first snapshot catching my eye (out of 20 or 30)

Was of Paul and Linda McCartney  

Last night Maureen called to tell me

Wings would be on the Midnight Special  

Sure enough, leading off the show was a film of Wings

In Scotland singing their new song "Mull of Kintyre"  

P.S.: Paul's first name is James
