My Pencil's Waiting

My pencil’s waiting patiently

To transfer what I think

Onto pages in my notebook

(More erasable than ink).

 

It follows my commands and yet

The words are then erased,

Rejected for another round

With which they are replaced.

 

This No. 2 is not at fault

If I don’t want to write

Of sickness, aging or the news,

Or any other plight.

 

And thus I jot a little rhyme,

So I’m not out of joint,

To get my pencil working

For, of course, that is its point.
