There is this guy named George
Who brings me pencils from afar
They're from very interesting places
To add to "Mom's Secret Pencil Jar".
George and Ann went shopping one day
Just where, I do not know
But when they saw this pencil puzzle
They thought of me and spent some dough.
George and Ann visited last week
He likes to joke and laugh with me
Another surprise he brought with him
A "Flag Pencil Puzzle" just for me.
One thousand pieces were in that box
All neatly sealed in a plastic bag
I cut it open and emptied it out
I'll put it together and I'll no nag.

I worked on it for six days
Off and on while doing other things
That will tell George, "I'm QUEEN"
For I will not let him be "KING"!!
The pencil puzzle is now complete
On my dining room table it lays
Will have to glue it on some cardboard
So I can put it on display.
This puzzle is listed on my inventory
It's listed with all my pencils
There's 365 pencils in two big jars
My interest in pencils will never got dull.
