A photocopy.
Alright class, settle down and listen close to me,
Letβs talk about a word, for all the world to see!
You read in your dictionary, itβs true,
That βxericβ means βa photocopy,β just for you.
But πxeroxπ β that's the tricky part, you know,
It wasn't always just a copy, quick and low!
Back in days of yore, a brand new name,
For a machine that made duplicates, itβs the same!
Xerox was a company, clever and bright,
They invented this process, with all their might.
So now we use "xerox" to mean βcopy,β you see,
A shorthand for a picture, perfectly free!
Think of it like this: Xerox πmadeπ the copy, then,
And now that word describes what weβve been then!
Any questions? Don't be shy, letβs discuss with glee,
Understanding words is key, you agree?
