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!
