TYPEWRITER EPIGRAMS.

Every typewriter deserves its own epigram, improvised on its own keyboard. Here are a few more.

Royal HH, 1951:

It’s an ugly old duck,
With its body like muck
And its keys of an algae-like green;
But just once, if you please,
have a seat at the keys,
And you’ll say it’s a lovely machine.

Remington Noiseless, 1937 (this one types):

Each typewriter has his M. O.,
And mine is pianissimo.

Royal KMM, 1942:

It’s splendid if you own a
Smith-Corona,
But it’s easy to be loyal
To a Royal.

Underwood Standard Portable, 1926:

My finish is deplorable,
But ain’t I still adorable?
