The Typewriter Family

(With illustrations made on a typewriter by Nanita MacDonell.)


“Miss Molly”

By L. H. Hammond.

“Mama.”

“The Baby”

Miss Molly Typewriter sits at her desk
 From morning till afternoon,
While her baby sister remains at home
 And plays with her spools and spoon.

Papa adds figures in dizzy rows
 Beneath an electric light,
And mama darns stockings at heels and toes—
 A truly appalling sight!
For the Typewriter boys are athletes both,
 And famous with bat and ball;
And a fellow can't always think of his clothes,
 Or wrestle and never fall.

“Papa.”

“The Boys.”

These Typewriter people, one and all,
 Are cheerful and busy too;
For they work and they play as hard as they can—
 As I hope that you also do!
