Ode to Pens

Colleges give me pens
Augsburg pens
Saint Mary's pens
ACT code on the pens
Sometimes more than one pen

I almost got a pen from Mankato
That pen was purple and large
3M at Johnson gave me a pen
It contains small post it flags
Sometimes my students leave their pens
Johnson High School maroon pens

At one point I took my roommate's pen
that pen was pink and not fit for her work
I like to borrow the pen from Ms. Shroeder's desk
it's the least she can do as I clean her room

I like all these pens
though I never have them long
I think a proper thank you should be made
to these pens I've described
