And these men at the type fount find it inconvenient to look up and wink or brush against them to and from the composing table.

These men could think me queer for looking. | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...ELBEE NOVELTY COMPANY INC. by ALBERT GOLDBARTH THE WALL STREET PIT, MAY, 1901 by EDWIN MARKHAM TAKING THE SHUTTLE WITH FRANZ by ALICIA SUSKIN OSTRIKER HUDSON RIVER ANTHOLOGY by FRANKLIN PIERCE ADAMS THE VILLAGE MUNITIONS CO., INC.; FORMERLY THE VILLAGE BLACKSMITH by FRANKLIN PIERCE ADAMS TO THE RAILROAD MEN by FRANKLIN PIERCE ADAMS |
