Said the pen to the pencil,
your graphite is dull,
Just look at my blue ink,
with which I am full,
My writing is pretty,
your scribblings are poor,
It is my smooth flowing
that folks so adore,
Your chickenlike scratchings
are hard on the eyes,
You’re number two,
while I win first prize,
Replied the lead pencil,
I do admit,
I am old fashioned,
but I must submit,
That it is more than your ink
of which you are full,
In fact you are full of it;
it being bull.

Write on! Yeah, pens think they're so good, but what about when they make a MISTAKE!!! Then what? It takes a little white out, while pencils just flip over and take it right off! I like your humor.

Said the pencil to the pen ...
SEE, I've done it again~
Erased a mistake that all humans make
While you ... in your blue
continue to err .. yes, you do~

Your humor tickles me *pink*
