The Pencil Box

“Welcome!”, said the pen
“Welcome to our den.
Mind your step,
watch your head!
We’ve a party going on,
Invited one and all.
Have you met Miss Lead?
Sleek, black and pretty,
wooden tresses a-plenty
This is our Ruler.
Indeed a royal and noble measure!
Though Compass can guide you not,
be certain he pin-points a lot!
Eraser has the merriest life,
Socializing with the covers.
Sharpener’s a bit attention-shy.
All he needs is a little time.
Soon enough you’ll met his spiky wits.
The Protractor’s on a trip of her own
360 degrees, all alone!”
“And,” said Miss Lead,
You already know Ink Pen.
Life of the party,
Star of the show;
The very ink in our veins”
