The Mistreatment of Pens

The pen is mightier than the sword The pen is the copyist of every word Just don’t combine “pen is” as a paper headline once did report And it might be mightier because it seeks pleasure and not war Freedom, intelligence, creativity, determination and diligence All found in the written sentence Some say the pen husk plastic is a polluter I contend that it makes an excellent pea shooter Don’t force your pen Don’t cram it in Don’t sharpen it, it’s not graphite But have it whenever you want to write Write a story Use the quill and the ink Draw with flaws Everything you think You can change “sex, drugs and rock n roll” To “sex, drums and rock n roll” With a click and a flick (But that constant clicking is annoying) Some are erasable Invisible ink is untraceable Pens in all manners and forms Change an error and revise the norms Signing for independence Signing all documents since Needed for an autograph Or the rough draft of an epitaph Pens and the graven stones Cuneiforms and calligraphies Writing and writing and writing Exhausting the pens with ease In pocket protectors The nerds become collectors Maybe give a pen a break Go use your computer for heaven's sake So don’t mistreat your pen Let it stand in a cup holder Yes, time will pass by But you can use it when you’re older
