TODAY IS NATIONAL BALLPOINT PEN DAY!
Every day provides us with opportunities to celebrate. Today I invite you to celebrate the BallPoint Pen! An item most of us use everyday, without a second thought! Today's poem is a brief history of writing with ink.
her feathers made quills, back when,
now the use of quills is seldom.
swans now loudly whoop, AMEN!
started the pen’s evolution,
in ink one could dip.
the invention was the fountain pen.
making it easier to write memoirs.
leaving a blurry, ugly spot.
for even ink distribution,
popularity increased when,
He made changes that would make him rich!
making it a handy utensil.
eventually, it would become a classic.
And the average Joe, could afford several!
people were bad,
they called it bitch.
to change it to Bic!
