Quick quatrain on editing

Richard Hill and I have been editing his article over the last weeks, between my travel spurts.

I apologized for being nitpicky, he admitted to same, so I spun out this quick quatrain. First four words are actually his.

Two picky people meet, go head to head,
Is what one wrote what the other read?
In scrubs and masks, with surgeon’s knife in hand,
They work to help the reader understand.
