The Old Typewriter

The Old Typewriter

A thousand stories have been written

On a typewriter no one uses anymore

Replaced with a characterless computer

It still has so many stories to tell

Storms and wars, floods and drought

Heroes who go to the dark side

Villains who save the damsel in distress

There are a million words of love

And another million of fantasy

All hidden within its keys

All it takes is someone to forget the present

Look at a friend from so many years ago

Feel the worn surfaces of the keys

Listen to the unique sound they make when they hit the paper

And let it take you into a place you never imagined
