Choices are barricades
Blocking a flowing river,
Ideas sail through the currents
With my command

What to do is my choice,
Choosing carefully is the worst,
I just have to let it all out,
Quickly,
Faster and faster and faster,
The words fly free

My job is never done
Not even a second to rest
I travel all around the world
To do my very best

My relatives tell me stories
About the greatest of my time
Grandpa Quill and Auntie Pencil
I am the baby
The mightiest
Mightier than a sword ,




I am a pen,
hear me roar
