Musta been the folk process. Johnny, Jimmy-- THAT guy.

As far as Mr. Scanner, I think there is a song there. Here's how it starts... more will come later I am sure. Tune? Mr. Sandman, of course! So we have to change Mr. Scanner's name too.... folk process Joe!

MR. SCAN-MAN

(Susan O. Hinton)

Mr. Scan-man... give me a song,
Sure, I could type it, but it's way too long!
Give it a lot of care, get every comma,
So I can sing it like a red hot mama!

Mr. Scan-man... wish I had you,
I'd have you humming in an hour or two,
So please turn on your scanning brain,
Mr. Scan-man, I'm back again!

Mr. Scan-man... optically,
You are the king I say most graciously,
Whether it's Times or Swiss, you deal with the fonts--
And you satisfy my recognition wants!

So Mr. Scan-man, please take my thanks,
This beats a home press run by old-fashioned cranks
So please keep scanning if you please--
Till your chips give out their last wheeze!


Maybe it's done. I dunno. We'll see.
