Paperless Writer
(with apologies to the Beatles)
Dear Stenograph, buy back my machine
I’ve seen the latest, and they’re sleek and mean,
With seven backups, give or take a few,
And the latest software, student version, too —
Paperless writer.
I’m tired of ink getting on my hands
And shadowed notes I can’t understand.
My teachers tell me it’s a bad idea,
But I don’t care, because I want to use a paperless writer,
Paperless writer, paperless writer.
I write 120, give or take a few,
And I’ll pass 180 in a week or two.
I’ll take my first depo by tomorrow week,
I want to look the part, so I need to have a paperless writer,
Paperless writer.
You can find a buyer for my old machine,
I’ve oiled it up, so it’s nice and clean.
If you must return it, you can send it here,
But I need a break, and I want to use a paperless writer,
Paperless writer, paperless writer.
