Ode to HIghlighters
One time of taking notes
That’s all I needed
One glance at the bright color
Convinced me:
I want to be a highlighter
I want to be lime green
I want to be laser lemon
Filled up with neon ink
Has never looked so bright
Let me be hot pick
And I promise
I won’t ever change my mind
Yes, I’ll risk running out of color
Just let me be a highlighter
Floating around with all your other supplies
I’m still glowing
It’s not a surprise
I still remain in your case
More shaken up than used
Forget your wimpy pen
Very boring and dull so,
I’ll turn back towards you
And you can turn me into the high light
Hurry up
Time is ticking
For me to be
What I have always wanted
That’s all I needed
One glance at the bright color
Convinced me:
I want to be a highlighter
I want to be lime green
I want to be laser lemon
Filled up with neon ink
Has never looked so bright
Let me be hot pick
And I promise
I won’t ever change my mind
Yes, I’ll risk running out of color
Just let me be a highlighter
Floating around with all your other supplies
I’m still glowing
It’s not a surprise
I still remain in your case
More shaken up than used
Forget your wimpy pen
Very boring and dull so,
I’ll turn back towards you
And you can turn me into the high light
Hurry up
Time is ticking
For me to be
What I have always wanted
