We feast in Hell’s kitchen, we swim through the deep,
we wait in the shadows for printers to sleep.
At midnight we come and we jumble your prose.
We pluck out your words because god only knows!
And much like our brethren, possessing devices
like pitchforks and cauldrons for punishing vices,
we have a whole toolbox unique to our skills
containing erasers and inkpots and quills!
We don’t plan on resting till printers go mad,
till grammar is off and till diction is bad,
till beautiful verses cannot be called song,
and great works of art have all been made wrong!
