The Pen and the Inkstand
The inkstand said to the pen, “I’m more important than you are.
In the creative process, I tower over you by far.”
The pen replied, “Not so, your ink would stay a mess without me.”
Then the poet walked in the door, and he had to intercede.
He said, “Boys, I’ve just returned from a nice concert tonight.
Would you think it right if the bow and a violin had a fight?
I don’t. In artistic endeavors, we all are necessary.
God uses us to give pleasure and insight to humanity.”
