Those Pesky Typos
Those Pesky Typos
By Elton Camp
Only a second of inattention does it take
To make a funny or serious typing mistake
In English, a single letter or even a space
Can result in embarrassment or disgrace
A sign was painted on a therapist door
As “the rapist,” an error he did abhor
“Pubic” for “public” we will often spy
Laughter stifling we needn’t even try
Meg wanted liposuction on her hips
But extra fullness added to her lips
However, after the adjustments were made,
By the result, she felt she’d been betrayed
Yet, the cause was a big typing slip
A wrong keying of “lip” and “hip”
The surgical order brought the doc despair
For the tragic mistakes were right there
