Pencil Thief
Why did you chew my number two?
It was my very best,
that pencil that I loaned to you
to take last Tuesday’s test.A hundred nasty nibblings
and slick with spit, how rude!
It’s no more good at writing things
because it’s been so chewed.This kind of thing that beavers do:
it’s not a wooden snack!
You chose to chew my number two,
And I don’t want it back.
