My Trusty Pencil

My trusty pencil helps me out
At crossword puzzle time.
It also comes in handy
When I'm working on a rhyme.

A ball point pen just wouldn't do - 
That really is the case -
For I would be at quite a loss
If I could not erase!

Something very human about the pencil that you don't get punching keys. Thanks for stopping by ilene.

Do you do the Times crossword puzzle? I usually just do word circle puzzles - they distract and you don't need much thought to do them. Enjoyable ode here! B'Shalom Matthew Anish
