Be

Be "Precision" Wise! Revise, revise!
To see your work materialize,
You must learn: "Revise, revise!"
For if you don't adjust the size,
The critic will have to characterize.

Before the submit to commercialize
make the attempt to organize,
for if one cannot compromise
lost is the element of surprise.

The first step is to visualize
what is needed to capitalize,
let's not forget to apostrophize
cross the t's and dot the i's.

Next we have parenthesize
without such one cannot verbalize,
the subjects that require emphasize,
or items you must collectivize.

Do not forget to categorize
or your subject will have
a timely demise,
dashing all hopes money wise
for the debts to finalize.

So choose words that will vulcanize
the reader you must tantalize,
for, if the choice is to vulgarize
the reader just might crystallize.

Please feel free to criticize
my mind is open, as well as my eyes,
but should you choose to terrorize
don't forget to initialize!
