DISK DRIVING MAN

Fred, something now that you should know:
I’m typing away, like mad.
I put what I could into this machine
Which, in the beginning was really bad!
 
I wouldn’t call it perfect now..
Much improved, yes, I’d say that.
I took five pounds of eraser dust out,
And I’m not sure...I think an old RAT!
 
Well, maybe that’s exaggerating a bit,
There’s not a rat anywhere in the house!
Besides, a rat is too big to fit,
It was smaller, I think it’s a mouse!
 
This story is getting quite ridiculous now,
As you can see, I’m testing my work.
This machine types very smoothly, and clear.
And on the ‘returns’ it no longer jerks!
 
Well Fred, my message is this:
I think I’ve done all I can.
I hope in a short time to come,
You’ll be known as “The Disk-Driving Man”!
Your Friend, Joe
 
(repaired an old typewriter for Fred....so he could
sell it and purchase a disk drive for his computer)..
