Please Critique My Write - Why I Refuse Such Requests
Please Critique My Write
By Elton Camp
There’s a request from which I intend to shrink
“I want you to tell me what you really think”
It may seem to ask your honest opinion to tell
But unless it’s praise they’ll be as mad as hell
Although I’ve gotten pulled into this trap before
That’s certainly not going to happen any more
Even if the write is dull, error-filled and trite
What they want to hear is your endless delight
Even the slightest criticism will drive them wild
It’s almost as if you had just slapped their child
And whether it’s a stranger or some friend,
Know that you’ll never hear from them again
But you must expect them to publicly criticize
And say you are presumptuous, mean and tell lies
But, to your advantage that actually may work
For you’ll never again have to deal with that jerk
