This little poem pokes fun at the impotency of the average spelling checker.

And indeed, when I typed it in, in Word, the spelling checker just snored away.

 

I have provided a copy in correct spelling.

Anyway, I hope it is correct: it is none too easy to decode this little poem.

OWED TWO THE SPELLING CHECKER

Miss steaks aye can knot sea.

It helps me right awl stiles two reed,

And aides me when aye rime.

By righting wants too pleas.

ODE TO THE SPELLING CHECKER

 

I have a spelling checker -

It came with my PC.

It plainly marks for my review

Mistakes I cannot see.

I ran this poem through it,

Youre sure real glad to know.

It''s very polished in its way,

My checker told me so.

A checker is a blessing,

It frees you loads of time.

It helps me write all styles to read,

And aids me when I rhyme.

To write with care is quite a feat

Of which one should be proud.

And we must do the best we can,

So flaws are not allowed.

And now because my spelling

Is checked with such great flair,

There are no faults within my site,

Of none I am aware.

Each phrase composed upon my screen

I trust to be a jewel.

The checker pored o'er every word

To check some spelling rule.

That's why I break in two a verse

By writing once to please.

So now you see why I do praise

Such software for PCs.
