Wayward Fingers

Wayward Fingers

My laboring eyes see all the right kees to get the leffers correct.
My wayward fingers do as they pwease~ A definite lack of respect.

I tell them over and ober again, it would be better to go slow,
But it's off they race, in the rong direction ~ yep, another typo!

They get me flustered and vexed, bye not heeding my commands.
If I'm eber to finish this ditty, I'll have to spank my own hands.

Communication twixt fingers and brain is a carastrophic confusion.
I'm stressed, feeling the tsrain, but amputation would not be amusin'.

Very clever! "If I'm eber to finish this ditty, I'll have to spank my own hands." Love that line! No, amputation is not a great option I must say! :) Always, Laura

haha, Laura. I think my fingers would rebel...They'd rather I cut out my tongue, and they'd do it! I'm pretty sure lots of people wouldn't mind that.

Thanks, Ken. Once in a while I get totally off track and just get silly.

Thanks, Kim. You should've seen me typing it. My fingers were behaving so well that I had to go back and make mistakes. That goes against the grain! I'm glad you like it.
