Ode to the Spell Checker
Eye halve a spelling chequer,It came with my pea sea,
It plainly marques four my revue, Miss steaks eye kin knot sea. Eye strike a key and type a word,And weight four it two say, Weather eye am wrong oar write, It shows me strait a weigh.As soon as a mist ache is maid, It nose bee fore two long, And eye can put the error rite, Its rare lea ever wrong.Eye have run this poem threw it, I am shore your pleased two no, Its letter perfect awl the weigh, My chequer tolled me sew.
