Thoroughly Poetic Thursday #18



Today we join Two SPOILED CATS


Angel Sammy and Teddy for their poetic pictorial poem.



Here is our inspiration




My mind's eye has a faint memory of
everyone packed like sardines.
All breathing freely unmasked.
Social distance of six (feet) 
was not in the mix.
No talking, every so often a constant click, click, click.

  1. Typewriters, no social distancing, hard to imagine that world was entirely normal once!

  3. They are certainly all jammed in well! No social distancing there, and if someone went back in time and told them of the future they would think you were crazy.

  7. That is a lot of peeps in the there. Back in the day I wouldn't have given it a thought, even before the plague. Now, I don't think I could do it. I was lousy at typing in high school and not much better now! Very good poem, a true blast from the past. My Mom probably did something like this.

  9. That's a great poem for that picture. It's hard to imagine a room being packed like that today although some parts of our country think it's perfectly okay to do it. I certainly wouldn't sit in a room like that for a very long time.

  10. I remember the very same thing. I loved typing class. It was a class that I'm ever so happy I took.

    Have a fabulous day, honey. Big hug. ♥

  14. Grandma Elsie was a typing teacher during the 50s and 60s, and she was very proud of it.

  17. I never saw a room full of people typing, but do remember those big old typewriters. My first one was a compact model, blue, if I remember right.

  18. Wait! Call Workers Compensation!!! There is NO ergonomics in the set up of that typewriter farm! Mom says that photo kind of reminds her of some of the cubical farms she has had occasion to work in...
    Your poem is purrfect!
