Darn Autocorrect!

Today, my wife went shopping and in her glee
took her phone and sent a selfie
of her in a beautiful new dress.
She looked quite stunning, I must confess.
She asked “Does this make my butt look big?”
I picked up my beer, took a swig
and texted back “Nooo!”
But my phone went to autocorrect 
and changed my word to “Mooo!”
Please send help or I’ll end up black and blue!

The poem is pure fiction. No worries! And my wife and I have been together for almost 26 years. Glad you enjoyed the poem. Take care.

Funny one, Jim. You took a joke and made it into a fun rhyming poem.

Thanks, Andrea. Yes, I saw the joke online a few days ago and decided to put it in the form of a poem. I have done this on occasion in the past. My poems based on the humour of Stephen Wright are probably my best examples. Take care.

HA! Jim. If this is true, what was her response?

No, this is fiction, but if it was true she’d either laugh or give me the middle finger…or maybe both!
