    I always loved these "World Wide Words" and forget why I stopped pairing them. I loved View-Masters, too, with their clickclicketyclick worlds and captions.  I wonder if I could write a real poem about the View-Master and its reels, seven photos in pairs (a fortnight compressed), a stereoscope for the post-flapper age (1939 World's Fair, I believe).  An old View-Master may have been the first piece of Bakelite I ever held.
