Lines on a Typewriter

by James McIntyre 1827–1906

From Poems (1889)

Arts & Sciences

You glory in your typewriter,
And its virtues you rehearse,
But we prefer the old inditer,
For to write either prose or verse.

And let each man work his will,
But never never do abuse
The ancient and glorious quill
From the wing of a fine old goose.
