Be careful what you QUINK
You might run out of INK
And sooner than you THINK
Your ship will start to SINK

Parker Quink is my favorite brand of fountain pen ink.
It’s been around as long as I have, I think.

Maybe longer. It works exceptionally well in my Parker 51. If you’re also into “Quinking", maybe we should start a club! What’s your favorite fountain pen ink?

Originally penned on paper with my favorite fountain pen, a Parker Model 51, purchased long ago, in a galaxy far away — sixty years ago in Texas.
