Staplers Are The Best Ever
Written for Pita's "Bad to The Bone" Poetry Contest. How bad is it?

Sometimes I wonder who invented the stapler.
A stapler is not really like a pen.
They are sometimes hard to load.
Staplers, not pens, i mean. Ten.

Ten what? I don't know. I needed a rhyme.
Anyway, staples hurt if you staple yourself,
and did you ever notice they jam up a lot?
If mine makes me mad I make it sit on a shelf.

Staplers haven't come as far as a shooting star.
Or even as far as scissors, or paper, or tape.
Rock smashes scissors, paper covers rock, and
scissors cut paper. But staplers take the cake.
