The Gift of a Fountain Pen

 

For Max

 

A fountain pen is an instrument of civilization

Its flow of ink explores the mysteries

Of all the sciences, the mind, the heart

Sorting out the good, the beautiful, the true

 

A fountain pen is an instrument of civilization

Through creativity, with thought and craft

Marking the line between good order and ferality

Limning the eternal romance of Creation

 

A fountain pen is an instrument of civilization –

(It’s also pretty good for shopping lists)
