The Sneaky Stapleopegus

In the shadows of my office
by the pads and pencils lay
the Sneaky Stapleopegus
just passing time away
each ruler and eraser
and lonely paper clip
know too well the pain
inflicted by his mouthy grip..

The papers in their stacks so neat
make sure they stay away
but if there’s only one of you
I think that you’re ok..
he goes for pages two and three
but loves it when there’s more
the Sneaky Stapleopegus
one day ate twenty-four!
