The nib, without a moment of hesitation, snaps off!

I change colours. Purposeful Purple will have to do instead! Onwards and upwards …

Snap!

Yawn!

Yodelling Yellow?

Snap …

My plans for the day thwarted by the aptly renamed, Poundland Pink, Pointless Purple and Yuckpot Yellow, I give in …

Zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz………..
