Pointless Broken Pencils.

Poem - ATC

"To write with a broken pencil is pointless"
The paper said to the book,

"You're spineless" said the hardback,
"Language is dead just take a look,
It has to be encrypted."

The paper sighed all blank,
No ideas sprung to mind,
With nothing to ever get written
People may as well be blind.

Looking to his mates for help,
he did not know who to trust
The graph paper was always plotting
and the sand paper was always too rough.

Flying like a plane to the library again
The paper went to the printer for a jam,
Figured he may as well take his mind off things
Before a pen could come to hand.

Very clever, & punny:)
It really was a page turner, funny and to the point, in fact, I'll make a mental note, to book mark, this as it surely will remain creased in my mind. #2 thumbs-up!

Poetry, the encrypted language you write with a pen when the pencil breaks. I love the puns (original and otherwise) and the poem in general is creative and witty.
