One thing I’ve learned
Is that all pens aren’t made the same
I’m on a journey to find the perfect pen
To write my last name
I’ve run into all kinds of pens
Those pretty ballpoint pens with smooth ink
They feel good when you write
But they empty sooner than you think
Most often disposable pens come in three colors
Black is often what I choose
It’s easy to get a new one
To replace it when I lose
It’s pens that you keep for specific reasons
I had one pen just for keeping score in Spades
I had another pen for contracts
Wanted to keep it until I received the accolades
But I need a pen that will always work
That will never falter
I need a pen that won’t give up on me
When it’s time to sign the papers at the wedding
