Chomping At The Bic Poem by Laurence Overmire

Chomping At The Bic

Rating: 5.0


A pen grew out of my eyeball and
Demanded I write down what I

Saw

Else my brain would be overrun
By foreign legions of emotion
Viking-like fellows with red

Beards

Yellow teeth and absolutely no respect
For women or children or the old folks
Who temper folly and guide us all toward

Wisdom.
