Finding the Old Typewriter
We found the old typewriter in 1967
None of us knew whose it was at one time
It was hidden in a corner of great grandma’s attic
At this time, I was using an electric typewriter.
This antique typewriter was nigh onto impossible to use
You had to push the buttons with the force of a sledgehammer
We did not find the unfinished novels until two days later.
Great grandma’s daddy had been a writer!
This intrigued me. No one had ever said this to me before.
I felt a kinship to him as I read his pages. He was pretty good.
I wondered why everyone had discouraged me from becoming a writer.
It was obvious now that the talent is in my family.
