Typewriter!
Writer type!
Surely now
the time is ripe
To challenge
all the right wing hype
Use those
keys use that ink
Hopefully
make people think
So come
typewriter type.
Typewriter!
Writer type.
Use those
words and take a swipe
At every
racist stereotype
It’s not the
colour of a skin
That
matters, but what is within
So come
typewriter write
Typewriter!
Writer type !
There’s so
much narrow minded tripe
Show your
metal show your stripe
Make it
clear what’s on my mind
How everyone
should just be kind
Oh come typewriter type

I love the rhythm of this and the wise advice the typewriter should be typing. Personally, I have never typed in my life and think I have missed out!
Yes indeed, may the typewriter type some sense! Heartfelt 💓
There's nothing quite like hammering out a heartfelt pamphlet on an old typewriter - with all the trouble of cutting stencils, and correcting mistakes with sticky pink stuff. Not to mention making a copy and then discovering that you've put the carbon paper in upside down! Ann - your poem brought it all back!
