The-Short-Story

I am the little sub-sub-editor
I sit and proof you see
to prove your stuff is good enough
you’ll have to get past me

I am the little sub-sub-editor
I sit and proof all day
that which don’t prove good enough
goes straight to my ashtray

I am the little sub-sub-editor
I proof and poof you see
though I can’t write shit myself
nothing gets past me.
