Writer's Rhyme
Word by word
line by line,
I'm gonna make
this writing fine.
I'll reread
'til I know
that each sentence
says it so.
Check the grammar
and the meaning;
be the critic;
do the screening.
Dictionary's
not for show;
Helps me get
those words to flow.
Watch the diet;
hem it in.
Do not fear
to make it thin.
Simple is
a goal to praise;
Let's untie
that wordy phrase.
Every word
let's be sure
follows the last
with meaning pure.
"Won't be easy,"
so 'tis said,
but effort will
put me ahead.
Word by word
line by line,
I'm gonnna make
this writing fine,
even though
it takes some time,
I'm gonna make this writing fine;
I'm gonna make
this writing fine.

NOTICE
