Paper Clip Soliloquy

Oh Paper Clip, Dear Paper Clip let me always sing your praises! You keep my pages held tight without the violence of stapling and yet your grip is so gentle as to release a sheet without a blemish. When the project in your care concludes you go back into the desk desk drawer with nary a complaint or a quibble and fall back into the stiff routine of anticipating the next chance to make yourself useful. You are so loyal and understanding that even when I ask you to be a hanger of christmas ornaments you immediately bend to the task. You don't even mind when I straighten you out and use you like a toothpick. You remain the consummate aide through both thick reams and thin. You have won my heart you little metallic angel and if Mother approves I have every intention of making you an honest binder.
