Give Me Them Old Time Revisions


Gimme them old time Revisions

Gimme them old time revisions

Gimmer them old time revisions

They’re good enough for me


I will find dependent clauses

Insert commas to show pauses

And defend the grammar lawses

And that’s good enough for me


I will mark up all contractions

They’re not whole words, they’re just fractions

For translation they’re distractions

They’re not good enough for me


I will strike out all the Latin

IE EG ipso factum

Is it data or is it datum

They’re both good enough for me


I will edit single sourcing

Where content and format are divorcing

It’s a whole new way of authoring

And that’s good enough for me


If you’ll just accept my edits

I will let you take the credit

Maybe a STACIE award of merit

And that is good enough for me.
