A Potpourri of Poetic Curiosities
: qwertyuiop by CD Richards
Acrostic Poetry Contest contest entry


Quite brilliant were they, and their talents not hidden

We bow to the genius of Soule, Sholes and Glidden

Enthralled, the world watched this event so exciting

Revealing a wonderful adjunct to writing

Type-writing-machine, such a boon to the writer

You've made this old world just a little bit brighter

Usurped in the end by the boring computer

I found your mechanics to be so much cuter

Oh, pity the poor wretched next generation

Performing their task at a heartless workstation!
