Cc

When sending a copy of mail
To another, you really can’t fail
If you CC the name
Of the person you aim
To receive it; attempts will prevail.

Unless, though, your age is like mine,
CC might be tough to define
For it harks to a time
Carbon paper was prime
If to copies your work did incline.

So when CC or BCC’s pressed
And your duplicates sent by request
Take a moment to think
How this long ago link
To the typewriter has been addressed.

CC writer vs CC Rider. Just an odd quip. :)

Hawai'i State government still finds carbon paper an asset which justifies spending our taxes! Aloha! Rico
