at the harlequin press I met a girl in a blue wool dress
her manuscript in hand
confused and unprepared, I offered to help
I know an editor here, I know him well
she gave me her proof and I took it home
it was a promising, total mess
I helped her submit, we cut there and added this
I quickly fell in love
my friend rejected it outright, not enough sex and too much talking
right then she cut me off
a year had passed, she showed up at my door
she rewrote the book and handed it over
she replaced the songbirds with pornographers,
the love scenes with brutal murders
