An Interview

Me: "So you are a pen?"

Pen: "Boy, you're quick."

Me: "Can you describe what type of pen you are?"

Pen: "I am a plastic non-refillable black ink with cap ball point."

Me: "It must be exciting to be involved with all those thoughts that are written down?"

Pen: "No. You mostly use me for grocery lists or cross word puzzles  you cheat at. Have you had a date recently? I don't remember writing down any phone numbers. This is sad. It is Friday night and you are talking to me, a pen."

Me: "How do you spend most of your time?"

Pen: "To hear you tell it, I am always lost. I hear it every day. Where is that pen? Hold on while I try to find a pen? Ridiculous."

Me: "Thank you for your time."

Pen: "Try to remember where you put me. By the way I think the phone is going to ring. Just kidding."
