A Poem for the 2nd Phoenix Type-In

In the Vale of Old Tempe,

Typewriters you shall see.

Olympia the home to the gods

and Hermes, winged sandal shod.

(both typewriters)

Monti's is where they go

at 1.  If the freeway's slow

1:30 will be fine enough.

No, parking isn't tough.

June 18th is the auspicious day

It will be sunny, Hey!

I shall see you there

lest thou be a human square.

Also keep thou in mind

Three guests you will find

At this event shooting video

for a little documentary-o.

Yes, this is the best poem you have ever read. No, it did not take long.

Concrete Poetry is Hard

A student created this. The effort that went into this poem is impressive.





Lies!

Free Selectric Ribbons

UPDATE: This offer is ultra-old.

The school librarian was cleaning out some cabinets and found these NIB selectric ribbons. There are three boxes. Let know if you want one for your Selectric (tryanpa@cox.net). I thought they might have been 0.5", but they are 0.65" so I cannot use them in another machine.

CAUTION: These are the high-yeild ribbons. They are the large cartridges, not the smaller ones.
