This has a great flow. I LOVE this couplet: a still intact shatterproof ruler gimme the the job cos i got the tool yeah

And also Miss look at this it's a neon highlighter when i grow up i am gonna be a writer

and in fact all of the lines. One of my favorite lyrics of this Sprint.

Straightforward storytelling, lyrical, everything you need :) Looking forward to hearing this, Wobbie!

Makes me think of how my daughter managed her school starting anxieties through the list of required school supplies. I like how that second line feels over filled - like trying to zip all this goodness into the pencil case. Hope you get time and music.

...and Miss, when she grew up, she was indeed a writer! 👍

So nostalgic reading this! Reminded me of the yearly trips to Grand & Toy to get school supplies, marginally tamping down the existential dread of another school year starting.

Ah lovely. All that hope and expectancy embodied by the stationary! Delicious detail. Though I'm more in it for the words, I'm the biggest stationary obsessive that I know. There's a metaphor for songwriting in the that two lines, amirite?

Take me back to simpler times!

Oh, and the smell of all that stuff when you open the lid... Like the smell of stationery shops, it's gorgeous and full of the promise of exciting new toys 😀

I like the line "when i grow up i am gonna be a writer." It resonates with the idea of the pencil case. Very nice.

yup thats fun and pretty nostalgic to me- i remember the excitement of a new pencil case.. if only erasers worked in bigger life

Fun song - I'm an early elementary school teacher so got a kick out of where you went with this. I related to your lyric a bunch.

This is great fun! Nice writing.

I'd love to hear what the pencil case looks like too

Brilliant. I look forward to hearing this.

I've been in the workforce for three decades and I still year for that new pencil case full of gear. Tremendously relatable lyric.

[pic]

I'm in awe of you! pens that are light pens that are darker

Making me proud of the few still-intact shatterproof rulers in my life as well.

I always loved my new pencil case, every year. Nice memories.
