Customer Rating: - oh pencil
As Andrew Marvell said, had we but world enough, and time . . .What is there to say about pencils? So, so much.

Who doesn't love a pencil? The touch of it, the smell of it, its chthonic earthiness: wood and slate, or wood and graphite. How elegant, how simple. Every pencil has its own quality, its own beauty, its own uniqueness. Every one is a gift from nature to us, so that we may put down the thoughts from our fevered brains on a pristine blank page (another of nature's gifts). Well was it said that the hand is the cutting edge of the mind, but let that hand use a pencil, not the dull clack of keys on a keypad.

And yes of course you're right, they do go missing. Stolen, lost, or perhaps as Douglas Adams suggested gone to another realm entire where they are not chewed and abused and disregarded. Oh pencils why do you leave us? Why? I think we know the answer only too well. The fault lies not with the pencil but with us. If you seek your missing pencil, look within my friend, look within.

But let us not dwell on the sadness of departure, let us enjoy the pencils while they are with us, let us relish this brief time we share together. Oh pencil, yes I am typing this on a Dell laptop but worry not, when this review is done I shall return to thee.

What's there to say about pencils, except that that I keep losing them or they get nicked by students. Not that these pencils help with that, but they are inexpensive and have the right softness for my pencil habits.
