Taps To Discovery
Taps to Discovery
“Here, I’ve bought you something
Push this and the bell will ring”
But I want a real toy
Thought that tender little boy
There it stood unwanted went
While time with proper toys was spent
Then one rainy afternoon
Into his mind there came a tune
The plasticy machiney thing
He found and made that small bell ring
He struggled with intensity
To wind the paper in you see
He turned around that yellow dial
Till the letter came in line
And thumped that single key with smile
As letters formed on paper fine
Also that day, he had found
Upon that toy like typewriter
That words could make a lovely sound
From his mind, great inviter
Of that work he was proud
Another one he’d type ’fore long
Ran to daddy, sang out loud
“Can I have a bigger, better one”.
