EDITOR

A person of import
assuring the accuracy
of the written word,
contracting wordy prose,
smoothing phrases,
transitions, that do not close,
checking typography,
commas, hyphenations,
correcting improper punctuation,
insuring style and usage of
quotes, apostrophes, indents,
capitalizations, numbers and titles
thus providing an immeasurably
important service to
both author and writer.

Happy am I therefore
to have found a friend
whose talents and abilities
exceed by far the above
but not only that,
she is fully cognizant
of all nuances used in my words,
understands me thoroughly,
though I tend to be somewhat
stubborn, infrequently cantankerous,
she is willing to do her best
to provide clarity and accuracy
for your personal enjoyment
as my wonderful, harassed, editor.
