The Real Writer's Cramp

To be a writer
Is to explore
The blending
Of words,
And subtleties
Of language.
Sometimes
In the process,
We inadvertently
Bend the laws
Of grammar
Or spelling.
All too often,
Those errors
Will embarrass us
By passing
Undetected through
A gauntlet
Of proof readers
Only to get stuck
In the craw
Of someone
Who is all too glad
To points out
Our verbal
Shortcomings
After the work
Has gone to press.
