Dear Mr. Editor
Though I am not your creditor
Your colleagues laud your busy schedule
How busy you are with the things you do
Working from morn till even
Seven to eleven
At times, dusk till dawn
With no time to call your own
My literary works lie in coma for help
For your editorial pen they eternally yelp
I now write as a reminder to you
Please don't discard them like some useless tool
They long for your surgical knife
Attests my hysterical wife
