Tongue and Pen.

It’s the early 1900’s and the ball point pen was perfected for mass production and the gift of tongues reappeared. “Hello my name is Ball Point better known as Pen, who are you?” “I am the gift of tongues, edifier to man.” “Nice to meet you said pen, when you speak I will write.” And tongue said, “Not possible I speak as the Holy One gives utterance in a heavenly language,” as said in the Holy Book. “Pen said, “If you let me dictate I will make you popular.” The gift of tongues said, “As it is already written, it is the Lord that gives me utterance.” Then pen thought out loud, “soon you will be unknown and I will be a keyboard in the hands of everyone.” And then there was silence in the chattering air.
