The Talking Pen - Act IV
So the talking pen
retracted his suggestion
and made mention
"oh i forgot
sorry to put you on the spot
but the Mr. Pencil and his whole crew
are pretty p.o.'d with you."
I said to the talking pen
who was about to get on my nerves again
"oh really, do explain this to me."
The talking pen began to mumble
"listen I don't want no trouble
but the pencil and his kin said
you've been neglecting them."
By that time I could not refute
I wanted to come with some rebuke
but in me was nothing
cause their charges did amount to something
I said "oh yes that quite correct
I've been distracted and
I abandoned them in the midst
of another project
one without words but did have texture
if I picked one up I know I'd get censored."
The pen exclaimed "ain't that your game
your claim to fame just might be
your lack of loyalty.
Your only committed to your story
caught in some form of glory
that you think get.
You seem to loose sight of your instruments."
I knew I needed to reply
but I started getting water in my eye,
i could not lie so I replied
"if it were all so simple I would agree
but me and the pencil crew have another story.
They mix and mingle in to mediums
that was aiding and abetting the tedium.
They kept coming with erasers
and quite quickly they became the chaser."
The pen sighed "Oh I know why
your compositions can be quite daring
maybe they wanted to change you and your swearing.
I bet they like the pairing of drawing and such.
You might be right in not minding them too much."
I started thinking and had to recall
the pencil's colors are the best of all.
Thats where I did fail,
if I can find a happy middle ground they just might not bail."
The talking pen
started rambling again
and told me
"maybe it time to rewind and revisit low-key.
You've been spending quite some time with
me and Mr. Sharpie.
He's too aggressive and a bit too sleek
and I'm kind of tired and could use some sleep."
I could no help but to confirm
that the words just might have ended their term,
maybe just for now.
Maybe the shit talking pen is right
and I just might see the light
and mess around with the colors.
I wonder.
I think the time might be now
to get down
with the ones I've been neglecting.
Okay I'll think about it and what might be the next thing. "
But this back and forth with my talking pen
has its enjoyment and fulfillment
so I'll just have to sit and stew on
what to do.
Even though I don't always like what that pen says
I love my talking pen anyway.
THE END
no.i.aint.finished.
