'Pen Won'T Work' Poem by Linda Winchell

I'm looking for a pen that writes
I need to write out some checks for bills.
I have a hundred of these stupid things
You think one would work the ink that's filled.

Everytime I click the top
then press it to the page.
The stupid thing springs apart on me
now my head fills me up with rage!

So I grab another and scribble a circle
on some discarded envelope.
It seems to be working find for now
but not on the bills I wrote.

I shake it as if to make the ink
come down to its ball point tip.
Now I see I've only created
this stupid pen invention to drip!

I think I'll use a pencil,
or maybe my sons crayon.
I am tired of waisting all this time
running in this pen style marathon!
