TYPEWRITER EPIGRAMS.

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

Smith Corona SL 470:

You hate me just because I’m plastic.
Now, isn’t that a little drastic?
My typing’s very neat, you know.
It’s not my fault that I’m so slow.
Well, have it your way. Truth to tell,
I kind of hate myself as well.

Tower Constellation with Elite Gothic No. 16 type (often used for invoicing and billing):

I’m not a poet, as you see.
I’m more an invoice-writer.
When you need billing, turn to me.
I’ll make your workload lighter.
My capitals and Gothic face
Won’t look good in your novel.
I’m specialized. I know my place:
To make your debtors grovel.
