In Praise of the Fountain Pen!

 

 

Pencils, biros, roller ball

Suffice for simple speedy scrawl

But to those who want to write with flair

There is no instrument that can compare

That tool beloved of all sage men

Nought but the trusted fountain pen

 

To match the writer’s single style

We can select the nib profile

Be it broad, medium or fine

We can achieve the perfect line

Enabling choice of varied scripts

Adding art to manuscripts

 

Out-dated tool some will contend

No longer in the modern trend

That to devotees such a slur

What else coveys one\'s character?

Theirs fighting talk that brings discord

The pen is mightier than the sword!
