Oops-


There is editing a poem to the point 
where it is concise & taught, 
with no extraneous matter- 

and there is editing a poem down to the point 
where it no longer makes sense- 

 Guess which has just occurred...

As soon as I got home
I wrote a little poem
And sent it to a magazine to try out.
Its point so duly honed
The try-out was postponed:
The Editor-in-Chief had poked his eye out.
