Engineering Printing Skills Applied In Practice Poem by Terence George Craddock

engineering is complexity intricacy
how to design 3 dimensional machinery
onto a 2 dimensional page transparency
a problem before computer dimensionality
how to put 3 dimensional machinery
into words and convey complexity
because anything less is superficiality
a problem in dimensional practicality

even when not encountering engineering difficulty
completing 4 year apprenticeship in hours durability
using both offset and letterpress printing machinery
requires knowledge working machinery technology
knowing how a printing press works was necessary
using in depth knowledge skills is applied speciality
