David Crandall Poet Rhyme

I Won't Shrink

I won't shrink.  I'll take a stand,
and stretch out like a rubber band.
I won't give up.  I'll right this ship,
and keep it together like a paper clip.
A poem is easy for a heart that's stout -
I just need some Bic Wite-Out.

Alison A Smith June 6, 2026 at 4:25 AM I tried write-out the other day. I have to get a new laptop it won't come of the screen and the mistake is still there. LOL Love this. Alison A Smith June 6, 2026 at 9:58 PM Definitely not a good mix David Crandall June 6, 2026 at 9:55 PM Haha, I guess the new laptop and the old white out technologies don't mix well.

JC Brul June 5, 2026 at 5:44 PM Very entertaining! haha I know what a wite-out is! We use that in the 90s to erase misspelled words and make our notebooks neat. ^___^ David Crandall June 5, 2026 at 8:07 PM Haha Thanks! Yep - that's the stuff alright!

Sara Kendrick June 5, 2026 at 3:41 PM I remember those days when liquid paper or white-out was used so much and now we can just erase it without the use of that product, but we can still do the corrections. I have to correct a lot. LOL..Thank you for sharing this one with us. Sara K. David Crandall June 5, 2026 at 3:56 PM Haha, I figure a lot of people reading this won't know what white out is - lol.
