Paper (Version 2)
Were to go without paper
I'd never need
A pen or a ruler
of useful mead
That pencil, eraser
or stapler alike
Are randsom to all
a paper knows rike
And likened to glue
and compass that might
Encircle for hours
a drawings delight
To top with direction
and set square on site
In measure of paper
and cosmo of light
To fill in each marker
with color or sprite
And add to their flavor
a paper draws tight
In dwell of their union
each paper holds rite
To bring into stores
a paper grown sight
