Etch-a-Sketch
The Private Eye magazine has a regular Poety Corner - which is often employed to mark the passing of some interesting person - here's one that caught the eye, so to speak, as it brought back memories of my youth.
POETRY CORNER
In Memoriam
Andre Cassagnes,
inventor
So. Farewll
Then
Andre Cassagnes.
Inventor of
The Etch-aSketch,
Top-selling toy
Of the 1960s.
Yes, we all
Remember truning
The knobs
To draw
A line on
The screen.
Now, sadly for
You, it's the
End of the line.
The picture has
Been shaken
And all is
Blank.
