Simple Lick

i licked the head
of my pen
then commenced
to imagining
diving deep
into my mind
with no telling
what i would find
eyes that flittered
mind that fluttered
hand that held 
a pen that stuttered
with nary a 
question why
i wrote down 
what came to mind
and that which did
come to mind
poured itself
out in rhyme
to think all this
started with
a simple lick
of the pen

Funny. Do you now have ink on your tongue? I love the humor, Mike:)
