The Pencilympics
The shortest scribble
The longest line
The daftest doodle
The neatest 9
The smallest stipple
The crossest hatch
The bluntest smudge
The sharpest scratch
The Pencilympics
Some say unfair
2B or not 2B
Who cares?
For each event
of scrawl or score
will always end up
in a draw
The longest line
The daftest doodle
The neatest 9
The smallest stipple
The crossest hatch
The bluntest smudge
The sharpest scratch
The Pencilympics
Some say unfair
2B or not 2B
Who cares?
For each event
of scrawl or score
will always end up
in a draw
