Biro poetry doesn’t work It does not flow or fill the page with easy thoughts The pen is a bulky lover, rather than the finer bodied pencil It gives no quarter in correction, and scribbling out is just a messy affair So it is unsatisfactory, clumsy and clogging Oh for my pencil, where have you gone, my love? Your fine point skating the velum, An extension of my mind Allowing expression beyond such coarse biro ******!
