They flew at her, pages, from all directions
Retaliation, from years of corrections
All she wanted, was simply perfection
The ones she rejected, had found resurrection
An editor’s job, is never that easy
Some of the books, left her feeling quite queasy
She never fancied, the ones that were sleazy
Those, she tossed, on the pile, marked cheesy
Books are alive, they’re a writer’s soul
Each published volume, a wordsmith’s goal
But these bound beauties, were out of control
Days like these, would always take their toll
On an editor, who, out of the library, ran
Dodging the many books, like a crazed madman
Frightened to death, yes, the books had a plan
And that, my friends, was the end of dear Nan
