Pencil Goes To School

PENCIL   GOES  TO SCHOOL

Taught my little girl a rule:
Your  pencil feels dull,
He needs a turn in sharpener-school.
He’ll come out full

Of new tricks  -
He’ll  get  a new start.
His sharpness we’ll fix  -
He will look smart.

He will even be able 
To write better  -
On the kitchen table
Or sometimes on your paper.
