BOIL IT DOWN
If you’ve got a thought that’s happy— Boil it down, Make it short and crisp and snappy— Boil it down, When your brain its coin has minted, Down the page your pen has ■' spripted, If you want your effort printed, Boil it down. Cut out all the extra trimmings— Boil it down. Skim it well, then skin the skimmings— Boil it down. When you’re sure ’twould be a sin to, Cut another sentence into, Send it on and we’ll begin to — Boil it down.
