Seems like no ending, my special liking in stationery.

One day I must open a stationery shop

As stationery always come to my thought

I find stationery has something to do with us

Read on and if there’re more, we shall discuss

We are just like the colourful highlighter

So striking and with many interesting colours

When seeing something important or useful 

Just shade them leaving the page colourful

We are just like the post-it pad

Important messages or any thought

Stick to somewhere we thought okay

But our message may halfway drop

We are just like the ordinary stapler

Thought we can click so get the pages together

But when a page is removed, staple mark is seen

Stapler the rest again, another pain done to paper

We are just like the reinforcement ring

Mend any broken hole, with the ring fixed

Otherwise it cannot be put into binder

Some will ignore and then see fallen sheets

We are just like the self-inking stamp

Words or pictures printed with one stroke

As time goes by the ink not as clear as before

Fresh becomes blur, we simply change our look

We are just like any other simple stationery

Which we use a lot without much noticing

Is life really so simple?  Could anyone tell me?

I thought so at the beginning, but hey, it’s not really

    Such bright colors!

    Wonderful comparisons. I think the stapler is very like building a relationship. Papers (people) stick together. When the bond becomes loose, we have to staple again. As you said, there is always the mark left. It will never be the same again.

    I loved this edition of We Are Just Like The Stationery. It is amazing how you can find so many to make the comparisons. I hope that you can find some more because I would love to read part four.
