Editors, editors! Do you edit?
Deliver us from typos and errors!
I see them breaking rhythm and credit;
Tenaciously holding English mirrors.
One mistake can be divine but not ten.
Redact before you publish anything!
Save us from French; I mean a leaking pen!
Editing is a task; not a word sting.
Diagnosis yields good in most cases
In as much a text is very concise.
Those that perceive them with purblind graces
Ought to never give grammatic advice.
Righting misspelled words does not seem profound.
Shakespeare did not: To be or not to bound.

This is, of course, fiction : )
