The Helping Pen

A simple poem about a pen that could write on its own

Once upon a time long ago
There was a pen that could write on its own
It decided to have some fun
And help a boy who was considered ‘dumb’
The boy sat in his class, tears fighting,
He looked around at other children writing.
Then to his surprise the pen in his hand
Started to write a story grand
He read with interest the words appearing
How his heart was cheering!
Then the pen stopped but the boy wrote on
It was like his ‘dumbness’ had suddenly gone
Now he was engrossed in writing his story
A tale of bravery and glory
How had he never done this before?
It was like the special pen had unlocked a door.
Before the class his story he read.
The teacher amazed, scratching his head
Said: I didn’t know you were so clever
This the best story ever!
The boy was so happy he didn’t know what to do
He looked at his pen and whispered thank you.
