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.
