PENCILS 

Updated: Jul 17

It must be rather difficult to be a pencil. Spending much of one’s life upside down or at least at a slant with all the blood rushing to the brain. The pointy end must be the head therefore must have a brain, right? I do believe that is logical since if a pencil has no brains then who decides their actions? I know what you are going to say, no I do not think that it is all the decision making by the pencil user aka a person! That is too silly since I can state for a fact that at times I have no idea what I am going to draw or write until the pencil starts to move allowing me to tag along for the ride.

Very humble pencils are to allow people to take one hundred percent of the credit all the time. That is a true charity acted upon strangers to make God very proud.I just realized that if the pointy end is the head then the eraser is the…butt? We are literally wiping mistakes off a piece of paper with a butt. EEEWWW. I am kind of feeling bad for the pencil community.


They are limbless; bare naked, color and decorations are not clothes and they have no eyes or mouths. Not helpless though. Never consider a pencil helpless because how many times have any of us been jabbed by a pencil by merely picking them up? Not coincidence what so ever. Fast rollers too across a nice smooth floor. They know the difference. Not stupid to roll onto a rug, they get stuck; stepped on and broken.Only good thing about being stepped on is now you got two pencils.


How else do they replicate but by asexual division? Might have two smaller pencils but sharpen up the second one with an artificial eraser on the other end boom got a spare. Or if you want to be a double threat living on the edge sharpen both ends no eraser. Lethal weapon less trips to the sharpener. Does it hurt when the point gets broken? Cannot imagine that they enjoy being flung into ceiling tiles. That is going to hurt especially if anyone of them has vertigo or motion sickness. Inhuman to treat an inhuman so inhumanly like that. Pencils need an organization to fight for their rights.


Pencil Legal Action Team Against Discrimination and Abuse or Ridicule (PLACADAR). Sounds like an awesome monster flick.A pencil probably could get some decent money from the courts just on teeth marks; pencil snapping and point breaking alone. Those things happen daily.  Pencil breaking is basically crippling for life if argued the right way. Teeth marks or point breaking is emotional/mental trauma and or disfigurement. Yeah, freaky how I am rationally speaking of these matter isn’t? Do pencils have sinuses? Are we technically continuously busting their noses? And what about those little triangle things teachers put on pencils to correct writing posture? Does a pencil find those humiliating or a bad Christmas sweater novelty fun to wear at parties? I would imagine pencils are quite lucky in not being able to see cannot be afraid of the dark.


Never heard one scream but no mouths so I guess another positive, cannot bother a neighbor. Back to my original thought that pencils are aware since sometimes I do find myself writing strange lists of what seems to be nonsense. Maybe they are complaints.Perhaps a pencil can sense its surroundings by vibrations like a snake. Have heard of no revolutions, yet, so I am guessing that the pencil community are a race of peace loving pacifists who wants to serve others to fulfill a deep rooted sense of purpose for the greater good.


Or maybe they are all inanimate which I totally dismiss because that is boring. I do not like boring. I will go thinking that pencil live quiet lives in boxes; cases; drawers; back bags with white out; scissors; markers and pens being the enemy of blank paper and notebooks until the end of time as we know it.
