He Had A Pen

Some guy with a pen once wrote,

“The pen is mightier than the sword.”

But, he had a pen.

So, I reckon he was probably a little biased.

Dontchu think he was probably projecting a little?

. . . Well, I think he was.

I bet if we asked the man with the sword if he were mightier than the poet, he'd laugh at us.

And, I bet if we asked the guy with the nukes if the pen had any chance against that sword, he'd probably blow some smoke up our ass, like politicians do.

. . . What chance does the pen have against that kind of power?

. . . I'm not so sure about that. But I'm glad you believe in it.
