Not to do poem
My editor has given me a list
Of words never to use.
Got it and go!
She told me sternly.
A lot gone big!
She cajoled!
Bit done liked!
She shook her head sadly.
Seemingly put out!
With an air of exasperation.
Doing this did these!
She sighed.
I made a mental note
To try my hardest
To avoid ever using all these words.
Yet, I now realise
That in this poem
I have inadvertently
Used every last one!
She won’t be happy!
