ODE TO BLUE INK

  A BLUE PEN IS WHERE IT IS AT.
THE LETTERS CAN NEVER FALL FLAT.
A BALL WILL ROLL WITH THE GREATEST OF EASE
ALL THE WHILE YOU HASTILY SEARCH FOR YOU KEYS.

BLUE INK IS THE  "CAT'S MEOW".
DON'T ASK ME WHY OR HOW.
I JUST PREFER IT TO BLACK OVER AND OVER AGAIN
BECAUSE IT FLOWS SO PRISTINELY FROM MY LEFT HAND.

IF I HAD AN OBJECTION 
TO CAST MY AFFECTION.
THE INK IS ALWAYS A STAIN
LEAVING CLUES TO WHERE MY HANDS HAVE BANE.

SO IF THERE'S A CHOICE 
ON ANY INVOICE.
WRITE IN BLUE INK 
BECAUSE BLACK IS FLAT AND THE MISSING LINK.
