March 30,1858 Hyman Lipman patents a pencil with an attached eraser
Have you ever thought
you had done something you shouldn't ought?
If only you could go back
and take away what did detract.
How many times have we reflected
on yesterday and wished it could be corrected?
Some harsh or wrong word we have written,
that afterwards, knew it should be stricken.
Well, now your mistakes can be removed,
at least some of the past can be improved,
and a second chance we get
to address our deepest regret,
as long as we embrace
this new pencil that can erase.
