Clacking Away

When home computers made their way
Into our homes, things changed
And desks in dens or bedrooms
Were cleared off and rearranged.

The typewriter was certainly
The first thing taken out,
Tossed or shelved inside a closet
By all those but the devout.

Yet those true aficionados
Through these years have clacked away,
Knowing all those Smith-Coronas
Would be cool again some day.

A resurgence is occurring
With a slowly building hype
That it’s awesome, boss and groovy
On a typewriter to type.

There’s a reason we should cherish
Retro items from the past
For their coolness factor often has
Most modern things outclassed.
