Dragon by ‘Tabika’ illustrator Lee Young – how Editors are seen by Writers – and vice versa!
It is a most distresing thing,
However many times.
That I will go through editnig,
I still uncover crimes
By punctuation grammar; to;
Or simply of a the word
That’s one too many, one few,
Or simply is obzurd;
No matter that, time and again,
I root out every flaw/
I look agen, and that is when
I sea a dozen more;
i think some evil imp waits there
To change the thigs around:
No mat-ter how mush sweat and care –
Be sure, more faults are, found!
When reeding threw a ‘final” file
The prawblems that I find
Are going, in quite short a wile,
To drive me from my mined!
At least I no no errors lurk
In this hear bit of prose
F or al misteaks, wif lot’s ov wurk,
I done makes sure has goes.
