What can I do with a pencil?


What can I do with a pencil?

You can sharpen it
Or break the point
Trap it in the door
Fasten it behind your ear
Or tap it on the floor

Use it as a walking stick
(If you’re very small)
Dig a hole to plant a seed
Tap it on the wall

Use it as a handy splint
For rabbit’s broken legs
Stir your coffee
Stir your tea
Stir up all the dregs

Drop it from a table top
Pop it in a case
Use it as a lollypop
Send it into space

Two will give you chopsticks
One could pick a lock
Bore a hole and thread one
To darn a holy sock

These are just a few ideas
There must be hundreds more
But meantime: tap it, snap it flap it
TAP IT ON THE FLOOR
