Congratulations Idiot

Consternation
On my face.
Now I 
Grasp the
Realisation.
All the 
Times I
Uttered the word.
Little did
I realise until
Only on re reading I
Never got the
Spelling right .

I am a 
Dittering fool.
I never
Once used
The spelling tool.

Thank you David. Spelling is my downfall where poetry is concerned. I am aware it is annoyiing to read a poem with incorrect spelling. But if I am in a hurry or tipsy, there are many incidences.....because I end up tipsy most nights.
