The World War II Museum

At the World War II Museum,
There were crowds in every hall
And so much to see and read
You couldn’t quite absorb it all.

Yet the visitors, so varied,
Were attentive and polite,
Everybody so intrigued with
Every battle plan and fight.

There were artifacts and movies,
Interviews with those who fought,
Which enhanced the schoolbook knowledge 
That each one of us was taught.

Hours went by until the closing 
And we saw all that we could.
Most Americans won’t get there,
But I think all people should.

Pens

Pens
for whom to share their writings  
for whom to share their feelings 
for whom to share their thinkings 

Pens 
to which it's a friend more than a foe
to which it could be full or hollow
to which i would love to show 

Pens
from the tube to the nib to the schoolbook
from feathers to fountains to the workbook 
from the store to the bag to the artbook

Pens 
comes In every shape, size and colour
comes and goes in every way or another
comes in handy for a student and a writer
