Lonely Typewriter seeks Loving Home

(Inspired by d.knape's 'Forgotten Typewriter' and dedicated to all those lonely typewriters waiting for a loving home)
 

I am a little typewriter
Sitting in the shop
I may look old and type-worn
But still can type full stops ..........
..................................................

My keys are still together
My ribbon is intact
My 'a' through use so many times
Is just a little cracked

 

My 'z' and 'x' are as-new

Was not in office zoo

Sex industry I stayed clear of

I'm pure and virgin true

 

My backspace button sometimes sticks

And needs a little oil

Make sure you use typewriter type

Cos car oil clogs my coil

 

What more to say and sell myself?

Longevity is proven

Was first out of my factory

In 1927

 

Hello?

I see you looking at me
Through the window shop
Please take me home and love me
Buy me now?, chop-chop ?
