Stupid Pencil Maker

Some dummy built this pencil wrong,
The eraser's down here where the point belongs,
And the point's at the top - so it's no good to me,
It's amazing how stupid some people can be.

    Profound poem. Gives a good insight to the human condition in homourous verse! Concise,sharp and meaningful.If I could only ever knew one poem ; this would be it.

    The answer's easy to be found
    No need to tear your hair and frown
    The problem will be turned around
    If you just turn your pencil upside down.

    I think of two things, the absurdity of not understanding a thing so simple as turning a pencil around, and that he's so familiar with the eraser end (mistakes) he's forgotten what the writing end is for. Either way, it's fun.

    Nice

    Some poets can play with words and say something very meaningful without any serious satire.
