Beware the Spellchecker

Beware the Spellchecker

May 10, 2021

Twas writ and the mistakes

did leap from the page.

How for goodness sakes?

Oh, how that made you rage.

 

Beware the spellchecker my friend.

The essential writer’s tool

to correct the words you penned.

Instead, it makes you look a fool.

 

There their you know which to select.

Your and you’re are easy to choose.

But you should have checked,

now your words confuse

 

To your eternal shame

you wrote lead not led.

There is no one else to blame

So now your face is red.

 

One, two, three, four,

errors on the page unchecked,

worse there could be more.

Your artful prose is wrecked.

 

Beware the spellchecker my friend

It doesn’t know what you mean

It cannot judge what you penned,

They are both right, bean or been.

 

Twas writ and the mistakes

did leap from the page.

How for goodness sakes?

Oh, how that made you rage.
