Which Device For You

One is nearly two hands wide
  The other's rather long and thin
The first is somewhat limiting
  The second, variety's built-in

One if often black or gray
  The other's a rainbow of color
Yet both do get their point across
  One way or the other

The first just asks a finger's touch
  The second you get to steer so much
The first gets sloppier as you gain speed
  The second'll go as fast as you need

Your pen or a keyboard: Which is better
  It depends. Are you drawing pictures
    ~ or making letters

Ha, ha. I wrote the poem, and I had no idea where it was going either (when I started it). Appreciate the interesting feedback. Happy Thursday! :) gw

A pen and paper for first drafts, but keyboards sure are handy for quick posting to certain creative writing websites!

Can't imagine life without keyboards anymore, can you? How about posting accounting entries in a monster corporation in via fountain pen in a large leather-bound ledger? Seems like caveman days to me! Thanks for the view and the viewpoint, Michelle! ~ gw
