I haven\u2019t used a fountain pen for longer than I care to remember, and I forgot just how nice it feels. It is slightly more inconvenient than a ballpoint pen or a pencil, but I\u2019m sure that I can learn to live with that; until I spill the bottle of ink, that is!<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n

I found an old fountain pen,
Alas, it had run out of ink,
But I was lucky to find a store
Selling Parker\u2019s famous black Quink:
Now I\u2019m writing with that pen
And it\u2019s oh, so much better,
Resulting in an overwhelming feeling

Letters are typewritten then printed,
Although I use e-mails the most;
Not forgetting about social media,
Facebook and WhatsApp now the thing,
But the satisfaction of hand writing
Electronic communication can\u2019t bring.<\/p>\n\n
