The Typewriter

Taking a course of being a secretary
Typewriter on the table is ready

My hands are aching to hit the letters
Speed depends on the movements of my fingers

A basic instrument of communication
You have to familiarize with the hands-on 

Busy hands needs to type as many words
It’s like having a competition with swords

Manual way of making documents for you and for me
You have to be sure to type the words and letters correctly 

Bond papers, liquid erasers, and a heavy type writer
The complete set to accomplish the mission as typist

Typewriters will be remembered as the years go by
Modern computers will not beat its quality even if I buy



April 25, 2013
For Craig's Contest "The Typewriter"



Note:
I worked as a secretary in an insurance company before and I used typewriter for making documents, letters, etc. and missed using it for a long time... (^_^)

oh how cool. I worked for a year as a secretary too but was more of a receptionist for him. For a Farmer's Insurance guy. He never had me type much. One time I asked him what my real job was since I did so little for him and he said, "I like having charming and attractive people as my receptionists. I wonder if I would still qualify for his job today. haha. Those were the days!!!

Well done and looks great for the contest. I loved typing class back in high school...typing was like running the hurdles in a track meet.
