She found five pens

in her bag today,

all competing

for her attention.

 

She found eight pens

on her bedside table,

but what they had written

she dare not mention.

 

She found two pens

on the ledge in the loo,

which she approached

with some apprehension.

 

She found seven pens

in a vase in the kitchen,

for spur of the moment

comprehension.

 

She found ten pens

in pockets of old coats,

when held back in class

for detention.

 

She found four pens

under furniture,

loitering with

good intention.

 

She found one pen

in her hand right now,

so to paper she committed,

God grant her redemption.
