Can anyone say something, anything you would like to say, about this poem:?

if I'd say: AND BECAUSE OF SPELLING CHECKERS, DELETE KEY COMES VERY HANDY. Is it right? Pls read



AN ODE TO SPELLING CHECKERS

I have a spelling checker. It came with my PC.

It plane lee marks four my revue. Miss steaks aye can knot see.

Eye ran this poem threw it. Your sure real glad two no.

Its very polished in its weigh, My checker tolled me sew

A checker is a blessing. It freeze yew lodes of thyme.

It helps me right awl stiles two reed, And aides me when aye rime.

Each frays comes posed up on my screen. Eye trussed too bee a joule. The checker pours o’er every word.To cheque sum spelling rule.





Butt now bee cause my spelling. Is checked with such grate flare, There are know faults with in my cite, Of nun eye am a wear. Now spelling does not phase me,



It does knot bring a tier. My pay purrs awl due glad den. With wrapped words fare as hear. Sow ewe can sea why aye dew prays. Such soft wear four pea seas, And why eye brake in two averse. Buy righting want too please

Can anyone say something, anything you would like to say, about this poem:?
Nicely done.



It would be easier to read if you write the sentences

shorter, like this:

I have a spelling checker.

It came with my PC.

It plane lee marks four my revue

Miss steaks aye can knot see.



or

I have a spelling checker./ It came with my PC./

It plane lee marks four my revue./ Miss steaks aye can knot see./



If you allow the white space and the lines to illustrate the rhyme and meter, the words are easier to read however they are spelled.



I have seen this poem attributed to by Jerrold H Zar and is available here:

http://www.bios.niu.edu/zar/poem.pdf directly from it's

poet, where it says By the author's count, 123 of the 225 words are incorrect (although all words are correctly spelled).
Reply:This is an interesting storyline, but maybe change certain words, cuz some spelling errors are a wee bit too exaggerated.
Reply:Clever-nice job, but it's really hard to read!
Reply:I really like the idea and the flow but there a couple things you should work on. First of all if you are really going to focus on how the spell check misses the big picture you should make is so that the spell check does miss your errors. I ran your poem through spell check and found fourteen errors. so you should fix that. Second is that sometimes its really hard to read so you should try to get some more feed back on which sections and fix that.
Reply:interesting, i like it.
Reply:true lee awe sum!
Reply:I think this is adorable. I had trouble understanding the phrase "Wrapped words fare as hear" , I read it "With rapt words fair as here", is that correct? Also you might think about replacing some periods with commas between lines.



Props to you on a very clever and well executed idea.
