Keyboards are the
Basis of my
Life's working existence

Not the musical
Ones with ivory
And ebony keys

But the typewriter
Qwerty I learned
At age 12

And have mastered
Over decades of
Plucking out documents

On Smith Coronas
IBM electric Selectrics
Xerox word processors

And now I'm
Down to keyboards
Attached to computers

I really love
To tap away
At the keys

To watch words
I've thought up
Appear on screen

It's a process
I never tire
Of even today

Tap tap tap
