‘Please edit it.’
‘What is edit?’asked I.
To this, he said
In a manner delighted:

“Something add to it;
Or delete from it;
But don’t rewrite
And/or overwrite;
Just make it right
To fit columnar height;
If suddenly received an ad,
Cut poem to include ad.
Don’t worry poem or poet sad;
Shrink both; but add the ad.”

‘This is the, edit’, he said;
‘I now got it’, I sadly said.
