Typos Typos Everywhere (A Poem)
Why Oh Why Can't I Type These Days!
Sometimes those dreaded typos just catch you out, especially after having published an article, and with ones that you just can't edit as well.
Typos typos everywhere
I rarely get a break
It really is unusual
For me to type without mistakes
Today I wrote a Haiku
It was a special task
It only had three little lines
I checked it really fast
But later on what do I find
A comment someone left
Your "Haiku is a Kaiku"
It left me quite depressed
While articles can be spell-checked
The Subject lines can not
I often go and type them wrong
Then get a nasty shock
So Keyboard Gods please work with me
And help me type things right
Because I don't want my readers
Thinking that I just type shite!
I swear that sometimes I may have
A dyslexic kind of bug
My typing just gets worse and worse
Maybe I need some drugs
But sober or drunk, awake or asleep
Fat fingering is the norm
Some days it really gets to me
And leaves me quite forlorn
I bet that you would not believe
How many times I had
To correct my spelling on this rhyme
It really was a drag
Well that my friends is my excuse
For my sad predicament
So if you spot a typo here
Please just leave me a comment

LoL...I have been there! I have been trying to triple check my titles lately, for the same reason. I thought you titled it "Kaiku" to be original hehe. :)
Really fun poem to read! Its rhythm is awesome. Very nice job!
PV Love!
I know the feeling!
I just thought you had created a new type of poetry - the Kaiku! Cute poem, Tony. :)
I usually spell things right, but sometimes leave words out. When I read over it, I somehow "read" words that aren't there because I know what I want it to say. Typos annoy all of us, I think.
grat hob, lol
Typos are the bane of my existence.
I am the same way, it's a learning disability for me.
