BRUCE COCKBURN WITH A TWIST
-- Editor With Approaching Deadlines --
Index



Rewrite of "Lovers In A Dangerous Time," by Lillemore

Don't the deadlines get nearer as the days go by
we sit in offices and wonder why
then in the traffic that sputters and stalls
why do we bother with it at all?

I'm an editor, with approaching deadlines ...
An editor with an approaching deadline ...

These fragile schedules of time and date
this vibrant mag I tried to create
pages open and the staples grab
anyone dumb enough to take a stab

I'm an editor with approaching deadlines ...
An editor with an approaching deadline ...

When you're an editor, you're always on whine
make sure it's always on company time
I'll go back to writing, God knows I've tried ...
Always a bridesmaid and never a bride
