Thompson & Thompson
The stenographer’s touch-typing
has me in thrall. The case
is the case in point
but her Remington is all.
She pouts, she doesn’t drop
a stitch and I am aghast
to realise, so late in the day,
that the Thompson
who gave her the low-down
on shorthand and what’s written
on the body, was the Thompson
who tapped out bullet points
for his other Remington -
the Chicago typewriter.
