Typewriter

In the days of old A story told Found it's way to paper The spice of life Or better strife Neatly born on typewriters The mysterious deeds and detectives pleas And facts of sports are given The small details as big as whales Reviel the secrets that are hidden The mind, the facts and a little time Along with creative splinder A reporter trying to find the angle That will make a story bigger The ancient keys Of a dying machine With ribbon and metal letters A story told on pages that fold With pictures and adds from sellers A magnificant machine That made all words clean Provided correct the speller Along with letters And puncuation as feathers Communication was much better A combination of high technology With artistic values of high quality A solimnity mixed with wise cracks And facts The writers best ability to discribe A certian act And the typewriter With it's standard theme Letters all perfect punctuation clean

I loved the typewriter. It allowed me to really fine tune my skills so I didn't have to get a typo. GOD HELP ME if I got a typo. LOL Nicely done!
