Puss In Boots says hi!

I appreciate him very much.
He’s there for me whenever I
need to keep myself in touch.

makes my broken writing mend!

My writing bag when I go out
is packed with the utmost care,
there’s various kinds writing tools

A producer of pale insipid things!
While when your muse is there,
artistic creativity surely sings!
