I brought an old friend home.

Told by All:

Antiquated and out-of-date.

The salesman asked:

“We have one of those?”

“Yes. You do.”

It sat in the forgotten corner of the

Warehouse next to calculators and label makers.

It was more modern than my original

Old Friends--

Olympia—durable.

Smith Corona—changeable ribbon.

Royal—reliable keystrokes.

I welcomed my New friend,

Brother,

home and Gave it a party:

An Address Label.

What a sight!

Mr. Word Processor:

With Terabyte baggage and Gigahertz speed.

The Nobility of a slightly misaligned line,

with Imperfection and simplicity has

Class.

Sitting in a corner where it waits for the next label

to Complete.

An Old friend like a New one is a must.

Recall,

Just Wipe it down and remove the cover.
