Yesterday, this pen, blatantly,
Refused to write on these pages,
Me thought it had run out of ink,
Now I’m dazed, as well as bedazzled!
This one is forever disappointing,
I’ve just refilled it last fortnight,
It dries up much too quickly, then,
Writes intermittently, as it wishes.
Come Monday when I need it most,
To jot down urgent business notes,
It’ll disobediently cease to respond,
And let me down again, as always.
