Scare Lady wrote and re-wrote

Typed and proofread.

When ready, her poem was sent to The Publishing House,

She waited…and waited.

Accepted!

Now for the details — Author’s bio — tell about yourself, Scare.

Correct format — get those pages numbered, Margins just so. Was the word count correct? The spelling?

Further instructions came:

Send in an attachment.

Scare thought and thought…. Hmmmm…send in an attachment.

Certain technology hadn’t yet reached the Garden of Delight.

Determined as she was to see her poem in print,

Scare dashed to her cleaning closet, tossing items to and fro.

This would be just the thing….

Working diligently,

Scare stuffed that poem page by page into her vacuum cleaner attachment!

There, that would work! Don’t you think?
