Spellceckers, Down
SpellCeckers, Down!
——————————————————————-
I’m Spellcheckers. I’ll read your mind,
Starting always from two lines behind.
So, you’ll use up all your time
Going back to proofread every line,
Not for your errors, but for mine.
I’m a pure-bred SpellCheckers. Even
Presidents, those haughty men,
Don’t like me, like when
I turn “fiend” from “friend,” or, then
When writing the nation’s budgets,
I’ll change their “land”
to “lend.” Hear Ye! I’m more than
A pouf-wearing proofer, I’m Mother!
“I know you better than you do.”
Gimme a second, I’ll proof it to youse
Look, in the necks Poem, I’ll let loose!
