I Never Learned To Type

When I was growing up in school
I refused to take a typing class
My two finger style was sufficient
I had no idea what was ahead, alas

That was in the dark ages when life
Was not lived on a computer keyboard
I advanced to three fingers but I knew
My meager skills could not be ignored.

So I practiced on my computer and then
Became proficient enough to hold my own
Then arthritis came calling to my digits
I’m back to two fingers, here we go again!
