The editor writes, / “Omit Needless Words,” but means / “STFU, dude!”
“Eh, forget this man”/will leave some poor guy lonely/”Eh, forget this, man”
Omit Needless Words
Your words are sunlight ~ proper grammar acts like a ~ freshly washed window

“Omit needless words” Presupposes that you know Which ones to expunge
