Noah Webster

Eye reckon Noah Webster thought he'd concocted thee perfect dictionary!

   Aye'm hear two tell ewe it ain't perfect and four a reference eye'd bee vary wary!

Yew see, there is one 'mistake' and one 'error' listed under 'M' and 'E'!

   Their ain't know gittin' around them fax and aye think ewe will agree!

Very good write. Dictionaries, I say, are very important. I tutor students and many of them are scared when I bring out Mr. Webster.

Enjoyed reading this one..Got a chuckle! Added a little humor to my morn..I worked with a young man once who was having trouble with spelling..He got the first and last letters in the right place but all the other letters were jumbled..I know that he had a learning disability_ probably dyslexia(dslyxia) but back then teachers did not know or could not help those students sad wasn't it..My poem "Heifer" was a double in that I was thinking about the mother of the calf and the child..Sara

I do not intend to make fun of the young lady that is the mother of the child..She could come around and clean up her life and make a good mother but the odds are stacked against her..Her mother and her grandmother both were the similar to her..She did not have a good example to follow...Sara
