keyboard!!! the new and improved pen of the future

July 17, 2008

They say that the pen is mightier than the sword
and while that may be true
it is unfortunate that no one uses pens anymore
at least not for any important business,
except for signing documents, created on a keyboard.

So I’ll interchange the words,
pithily creating a new truth, saying
the keyboard is mightier than the sword,
albeit much less sexy and less like a sword,
for have you ever tried to stab someone with a keyboard?

    Yes, but who really uses swords these days?

    I write with a pen, but then I still have to transfer the original document to the machine via keyboard, so the keyboard is mightier than my pen.
