Pen and Ink

Started out in a bank as a bookkeeper and teller Pen and ink was used to enter in the daily ledger Ballpoints weren't around Their secret wasn't found Till a few years later, it became a top seller

Ah the pen. A long time bike courier the right pen a must and deserves an ode. The "Jetstream", pen of choice of couriers and bankers, and parking ticket planters. Good morning Jack! xomo ;)

Well, I used to be a bank robber//Got tired of watching my bobber//Waiting for a bite//Seemed to take all night//Locked up, I now blubber and slobber. INK ON JACKSON! (did you really work in a bank?)

Good thing you didn't try to robbing MY bank... had an M-15 Automatic under the cross my knees! To answer your question, YES I started out working in a bank before I became a graphic designer! I look back fondly on those two months!!! LOL
