This might be a double definition.

'write' is the first definition.
(I know that write can be written as pen)

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for pen that I've seen before include "See 20" , "International writers's organisation" , "Write" , "'The ... is mightier than the sword'" , "Female swan" .)

I've seen this clue in the Evening Standard.
