Rhyme Scheme: ABABCC DEDEFF GHGHII JKJKLL MNMOPQQ| Being a writer I receive | A |
| Sweet screeds from folk of every land | B |
| Some are so weird you'd scarce believe | A |
| And some quite hard to understand | B |
| But as a conscientious man | C |
| I type my thanks to all I can | C |
| - | |
| So when I got a foreign scrawl | D |
| That spider webbed across the page | E |
| Said I This is the worst of all | D |
| No doubt a child of tender age | E |
| Has written it so I'll be kind | F |
| And send an answer to her mind | F |
| - | |
| Promptly I typed a nice reply | G |
| And thought that it would be the end | H |
| But in due course confused was I | G |
| To get a letter signed Your Friend | H |
| And with it full of girlish grace | I |
| A snapshot of a winsome face | I |
| - | |
| I am afraid she wrote to me | J |
| That you must have bees sure surprised | K |
| At my poor penmanship You see | J |
| My arms and legs are paralyzed | K |
| With pen held in a sort of sheath | L |
| I do my writing with my teeth | L |
| - | |
| Though sadness followed my amaze | M |
| And pity too I must confess | N |
| The look that lit her laughing gaze | M |
| Was one of sunny happiness | O |
| Oh spirit of a heroine | P |
| Your smile so tender so divine | Q |
| I pray may never cease to shine | Q |
