Ode to a Recycled Denim Pencil

I do not love thee; thou art far too blue.
Thy lead cometh forth not willingly, yea, thou art grudging of thy purpose.
Though thy trunk is slim and smooth, it availeth nothing but a good appearance.
Thine heart is vain and worthless!
Yea, if I could but break thee into pieces to show forth the treachery of thine heart;
Thus every prospective customer of thine shall be forewarned not to trifle with thy good looks.
