My penmanship is pretty bad.My printing's plainly awful.In truth, my writing looks so sadit ought to be unlawful.I try but, still, I must confessmy writing looks like scribbles.My pencil makes a painful mess.My ballpoint leaks and dribbles.My letters take up so much spacethey nearly can't be read.The ones that should be lowercaseare capitals instead.My p's and q's and R's and b'sare backward half the time.When letters look as bad as theseit's probably a crime.My cursive's utter lack of stylewill make you want to curse.But, even so, I have to smile;my teacher's writing's worse.
