The Lyrics

Years ago I worked briefly as a copyeditor in the adult-mag industry, and "Chicago" was our bible when it came to dealing with some of the dreck we published. Otherwise this is not autobiographical.
Editor: porn-groom feller
Employs his pencil red
To fix stories none too stellar
About two misses kissing in a bed.

He doesn't have a single qualm
About making grammar conform.
Because he's in "Chicago"'s* thrall.
"This stuff sucks!"

He said, "In fact, it really blows;
I'm not happy with this worthless prose
About a litany of swives
By husbands cheating on their wives."

He swept through with a fury,
Crossing every T and dotting I's,
But then he discovered:
Something was dangling right before his eyes.

No worry that it's a gerund--
That he could plainly see,
But it concerned a part of the body.
Grabbed his tool. . .graphite grappled he.

His pencil struck it:
The participle he did move
To where it modified "Compelled her
To yell, '. . .my groove!!'"

Now he's a happy feller
Because he's become a porn-view'n' sweller.
He's as jacky as he can be,
And he gets his porn not sold, but free!
