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! | |||
