Have you seen a biro that's run out of ink?
I've only seen one, and it's making me think!
Remember a "t" that's only half crossed?
No, we buy another, when a pen has been lost.

I think it's a conspiracy of the very worst kind.
There are biro secret agents taking pens that they find,
Topping them up to sell them back to me and you.
When we go shopping we are buying old pens brand new.

We have the power to see that all of this stops.
We can go down to Smiths and glue on all of the tops.
Well OK, yes that means they won't write,
But I'm determined these agents will not win outright.

So how about chewing rather than gluing?
Don't think they'd be interested in all that renewing.
Make sure to use the cap as they did not intend.
Lever open metal boxes till you're feeling them bend.

Oh how I will laugh as I cut one in half
And watch it run out just short of an autograph.
I will beat the biro agents by taking a stand,
Though it's possible sharp edges will injure my hand.

So come on and join my peaceful biro protest.
Help me to organise a finished biro contest.
The ball point pen is mightier than the sword.
If we act together than a victory can be scored.

Chew up your biros!
Down with the agents!
Biros are for life,
Not just for Christmas.
