Pencil, <br />Ah, wondrous pencil, <br />You’re always there, <br />My faithful companion, <br />Though you may sometimes break, <br />You’ll always sharpen back to point <br />Ready to transfer my every thought <br />To paper, <br />Or desk, <br />Or wall. <br />Eraser always ready to do away with my mistakes. <br />Oh my dear friend pencil I owe you so much. <br />Ah, wondrous pencil<br /><br />Stephen Johanns<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/ode-to-pencil/
