Ode to a mechanical pencil

[g0shawk]

Mechanical pencil
Plastic pink
I love to use you
When I think

Your rubber grip
Is fun to squeeze
I hold you in my hand
With ease

My mind a blank
I click click click
Then push back in
The silver stick

I’m pretty sure that
I should stop
Making you my
Lollipop

But what else is
A girl to do
I’m out of gum
I need to chew

On something other
Than ideas
And items found in
Pizzerias
