Hereʼs to the Pencil

by William Jackson on 2004-04-19

Hereʼs to the Pencil, so noble and thin;
Ready for any old state that youʼre in.

Hereʼs to the Pencil; heʼs yellow, yet brave,
Taking no thought but your thoughts for to save.

Hereʼs to the Pencil, the one that I hold;
With him in my fingers Iʼve strength to be bold.

Hereʼs to the Pencil, the writer of dreams.
A new world is born with each stroke, so it seems.

Hereʼs to the Pencil, the number two kind;
Heʼll never argue with whatʼs on your mind.
