Please Insert
the Required Fiat Coin
into my pay slot.
Crank my coal engine
and away I ricket!
In stiff letters
I'll go on about the weather;
I'll go off about, well,
This or that, whatever's
On the nightly news.
I'll slam my judgements home in bold
Editorial columns that condemn
(or recommend) and paint a rose
Or crimson hue on the neighbors,
You Can Choose!
Slap down the custom stamp mod,
I Can Type In Technicolor™!
I can quirl in cursive,
I can slant in style.
I can tell you stories
That you'd never once believe.
I'm an eager typewriter:
Try Me Once, You'll Never Grieve!
