a brief history of writing
I once ordered my pencil
“Write me a poem”
My eraser is missing
And I’m all alone
The pencils were kept
in a box made of leather
a major step up
from the days of the feather
then came the ink pen
with blotters and blobs
pocket protectors
for multi-pen snobs
next was the ball point
so smooth and so slick
to calm school day angst
with their click-click-click-click
now it would seem
we have no time to waste
no need to write it
just quick cut and paste
we can now write a treatise
while resting in bed
alerting AI
to steal from the dead
and if it reads badly
somehow sadly insipid
our main line of defense
AI stole it from ibid
