Magic Pen

Could this be it?  The magic pen?
The pen with magic tales within?
The one that holds quicksilver ink
that flows as fast as I can think?
That never skips?  That never fails?
That never, ever flubs details?
That scribes great works of mystery?
Of fantasy?  Of history?
Pure, polished lines that shine and sell?
It could be -- only time will tell.
