My trusty eraser

This eraser is my trust,

huge isn’t it,

there’s so much to give

I have given it to you, now be careful

the more mistakes you make

the less there is,

the more you play with it,

the more it breaks,

the less you care for it,

the more that you lose it,

follow these guidelines,

you’ll be fine,

One, don’t draw on it,

it’s not a paper it’s an eraser,

it can get forget your mistakes,

unless they're written on there,

Two. don’t let anyone borrow it,

I’m trusting you, only you

to care for my eraser,

to be sure that you can handle it

Three, don’t break it in half,

or in fourths, not even eighths,

may seem like more but really,

it’s just easier to lose,

and once it's gone,

you can’t ever have it back.
