This is a story about a writer. This
writer is somewhat stubby but sharp as a
tack.
This writer has an
incredible memory.
He can remember
things
forever.
This writer
can start
wars or end
them with a
decided wave. This writer can confer
accolades upon a king, or pay tribute to
even a beggar. This simple little writer
can bestow honor all right but, he can also
do unequalled damage, bringing down wrath
beyond compare.
It matters not what this diminutive writer
says - no one can quarrel with him. They
may disagree with the words of the tiny
writer but no one can argue with him. Who
debates with a pencil?
Indeed the pen (or here the pencil) is
mightier than a sword.
