The Copy Editor

[deckardcanine]

Oh, I’m a copy editor; I work with lots of styles.
I’ve caught some flubs that ought to have you rolling in the aisles.
I single-space the sentences, ensure the curly quotes,
And use the Oxford comma if I’m asked to in the notes.
My eye for errors never rests when I am off the clock.
Some famous publications make so many I’m in shock.
Now let me tell the readership what bothers me the most:
The evident mass layoff of the proofers at The Post.
