and Hammerstein, I believe. I don't know whom
to apologize to first.
My
Favorite Pens
Big
nibs on Parkers and levers on Sheaffers
Crescents on Conklins and cool writing papers
Black chased hard rubber, though heat gives it
bends
These are a few of my favorite pens.
Cream
and black Wahls, with no hint of an amber
Dorics and Carters and Chiltons and Lamberts
Flexible nibs on Gold Bonds with bright ends
These are a few of my favorite pens.
Radite
and Stonite and Bakelite and Rubber
Permanite and Celluloid I like to discover
Big fat behemoths that set fashion trends
These are a few of my favorite pens
When
Mont Blanc cracks
When Omas skips
When new pens miss the boat
I simply unlimber my fine vintage pens
And write them a naaaaaasty note!

When
You Bid Upon A Pen
When
you bid upon a pen
Makes no difference what or when
On ebay is where I'll lurk
To out-bid you
If
your heart's set on a dream
No reserve is too extreme
When you bid upon a pen
I'll out-bid you
I'm
the sniping kind
I'll bid with only a second left
You'll be completely bereft
Of the pen you wanted
So
that pen of lapis hue
Will ship to me and not to you
When you bid upon a pen
I'll out-bid you…

you were in that Emerald City, Dorothy...

| Ah,
I've always liked Ray Bolger.
Music
("If I Only Had a Brain") by Harold
Arlen. The original lyrics were by: E.Y. Harburg
If
I Had a Fountain Pen
I
could while away the hours
Takin' Private Reserve showers
Writin' snails now and then...
On my artwork, I'd be scratchin'
And the shadows I'd cross-hatch em'
If I had a Fountain Pen.
I'd
have nibs as big as chickens
And thin as well as thick'uns
In Stub and Fine and Sten...
Id' draw Beany along with Cecil
And write books like old Ted Geisel
If I had a Fountain Pen.
Oh,
I could nearly cry
To see the prices that new fountain pens command,
I could buy a great big house upon the shore
And a second car for the kid next door.
I
would'nt need a Michel Perchin
Just an Estie'd suit this urchin
Or a Namiki with its Zen.
I could write for Halle Berry
Or draw Michael Jordan hairy
If I had a fountain pen…

| "Wild
Pen" – by Thoth 2002 after The Troggs (Wild
Thing)
Wild
pen
You make my head spin
You make everything...flexxy
Wild pen
Wild
pen, I...think I love you
But I wanna know for sure
So come on, I’ll hold you tight
I love you
Old
pen
You make my head spin
You make everything... flexxy
Old pen
Wild
pen, I...think you move me
But I wanna know for sure
So come on, I’ll fill you right
You move me
Gold
pen
You make my head spin
You make everything... flexxy
Gold pen
Come
on, come on, wild pen
Shake it, shake it, wild pen
(To
be sung while wearing a kaftan and flares and
smoking something interesting ;0) |
