R.T.M.
It's.......!
It once was hammer and chisel,
A struggle to turn the page,
And a reprint of The Testament
Surely took an age.
No wonder Moses, all alone,
Kept his in a Cage.

The Scribes with Vellum
And with Quill,
Made loops and Capitals
Enough to thrill,
And in the Great Museums
Their beauty lingers still.

Caxton
Took a long step forward
Described a new meaning for Press,
The letters in lines, immaculate,
Soldiers smart, at right dress.

The rolling drum on continuous page
Soon became the latest rage,
But micro chip had its say
With computer both at work and play,
Until a perfect copy emerged

From beneath glass panel, brilliantly purged.
Despite the Quills and Ink,
The Felt Tips and Vellum pink,
Fountain Pens and Caligraphers Tool,
The ultimate answer to it all
Stands patient, polished and mighty tall,
Close to the window, its eye on The World,
Waiting for a Masterpiece,
Or perhaps a Manuscript,
Curled.

Booers.
