Pen or Pencil?

I choose my pen carefully
blue for poetry
black for prose

The one with Tigger on a spring
and an orange feather on top
to amuse me while writing cheques
for ballet lessons and school trips

Pencil only for Sudoku

A quick message by green crayon
dug from the depth of my bag
in search of a more adult instrument

Brown eyeliner works well
on a clean but crumpled tissue
Iridescent pink lipstick a last resort

In red marker pen
lunch box notes on napkins
with a smiley face and x for a kiss

The computer keyboard serves its purpose
but the printer is
out of ink.
