2B or not 2B


I found this little gem in my son's poetry book.

Said Hamlet to Ophelia
I'll draw a sketch of thee,
What kind of pencil shall I use?
2B or not 2B?

The poem is by Spike Milligan.I asked my son if this was part of his syllabus and he quite predictably said "No". Well, atleast it has found a place in the book. That is something. Normally Milton, Keats and Wordsworth are stuffed down our childrens' very reluctant throats!
