Yesterday I stole a pen
Just took it off the teacher’s desk
No one noticed.

So today I put it back,
Left it lying on a book
Trudged back down to my seat
Only to see
On my own desk
A flashy, four-colour, click-and-change.

I look around.

The author's comments:
I doodled this poem in English while I was meant to do a poem based on Glen Colquhoun’s “Today I Want To Be A Doctor”, which I found repetitive and boring, and therefore not to my liking.
This isn't really to my liking either.
