Humour

I spell it humour, you may spell it humor The ‘correct’ spelling of this word is important ‘U’ need humour in your life If ‘U’ don’t have it, your world will be dull The same rule applies to colour ‘U’ need colour in your life too So please humour me with my spelling and ‘U’ can have some fun Jan Allison 4th October 2014

Carefree, but shortly brilliant piece, Jan. Before this poem, I never realized the "U" could be "used" in unique ways for the individual in question. Nice piece. Can't wait to read more just as enjoyable. Check out some of mine. Might find some you like. Peace.

If U will make YOU my friend then I will spell humour any way you please: with U or without... YOU! I am with U and YOU here! Excellent humour, dear Alice and happy I am that things are as I thought they were in the first place, Having said that, I sent many hugs!

In spirit my dear we can! A lot of hugs! Since I am Canadian educated I spell it the English way but my computer changes it to the American way!

Brilliant concept. I am Canadian and spell those words as you do but I set my spellcheck to U.S. They are bigger than us and we share borders. I don't want to make them angry.
