Who dreamt he was eating his shoe.

With a terrible fright,

And found it was perfectly true.

This pen is perfect,

Just right for my size.

This pen is indeed perfect,

But there is something I despise.

The lid is cracked and

The ink is running low.

The pen is a little crooked.

I guess it is a little old, but

Otherwise everything is fine.

This pen is my favorite

With its words still engraved

And its healthy green glow.
