Quote Someone Verbatim
QUOTE SOMEONE VERBATIM
As a writer you must realize
The reader sees things through your eyes.
They never second guess the things you say.
Thus, a word misplaced,
A noun erased,
A phrase unlaced,
A slang untraced,
Can send a quote careening,
Give the thought a whole new meaning,
And you"ll end up at the mercy of the critics and disgraced!
Uh, uh, here it is! No it's not!
Keep looking!
You must QUOTE SOMEONE VERBATIM!
Be specific to the "T"
It's necessity, to QUOTE SOMEONE VERBATIM!
You must QUOTE SOMEONE VERBATIM
No one knows this more than me!
So, cross reference with deference.
Give direction to inflection.
And you'll be the writer you were meant to be.
If you QUOTE SOMEONE VERBATIM
Like me.
Scholars will tell you since the start of time
Misquoting was a crime.
You must treat each word divine
For in the order of the universe
The situation couldn't be much worse,
The day will come when you will ultimately pay!
You must QUOTE SOMEONE VERBATIM
No one knows this more than me!
So cross reference with deference.
Give direction to inflection.
And you'll be the writer you were meant to be.
You can do it if you QUOTE SOMEONE VERBATIM!
