Red Ink

As I ponder so weak and weary
I read your story, it was dreary.

No need to thank me for the markup
I digress, is this the wrong tree to bark up?

However red your paper might be
Loving eyes did set it gently free,

Of errors do I speak unjust?
My quill made many a thrust.

I hope you find that I loved it too
Wrote entirely over, just for you.
