Work In Progress

A very detailed essay, I say

But just needs a bit of improvement.

You see the orange or green or pink;

The colour you may choose to use

That's where you need to make changes.

The scribbles at the edges are my notes,

Pointers to point you in the right direction,

Highlighting is better than underlining

Though it does not matter how you do it;

Just as long as the essay makes sense

That is all I want to see from you.

This next paragraph needs a bit of work

Remember to dot the i's and cross the t's

And I am sure you will do fine, at least.

A full stop here, maybe a comma there instead,

But don't just assume I am the one who's right

'Cause I sometimes to make mistakes.



I'm not quite sure what you mean here

Maybe try something else, or delete it entirely

Try to be more clearer and you'll get a good grade.

There is a difference in being correct

Than sticking towards the word count

Yet I assure you that it is better to be precise

Than it is to lose important marks.

Your references are good

You just need to remember the format

And the overall structure is clear,

But with more formatting it will flow better.

Yet I am only the marker, so have no words to say

I am just a silent shadow that overlooks your work.
