Sense Sonnet - Pumper

 Pen or Sword


The sword was livid when it heard

The pen was mightier than it.

The sword loud thundered, "How absurd!"

"The pen is but a little twit,"

Then confronted the pen and gave

The pen a great swipe of its blade,

Missing, and then did rant and rave,

While a calmness the pen displayed.

In time humankind made the choice

Of selecting the pen and peace,

Ignoring the sword with loud voice,

And so in time the sword did cease.


Dead silence from the sword and then

It's just the whisper of the pen.
