English Poetry - using my PC spell checker

Below is poem I found in my grammar book.  It shows how a word can be correctly spelt but if it is in the wrong context then its not the correct spelling/version of the word.  

Even using a grammar and spell check will not ensure your documents are correctly spelt throughout.

You have to have basic spelling and grammar skills and read through your documents thoroughly.  Some mistakes are just funny and some could be quite offensive/embarrassing.


This poem has been published in various places by different titles, and most commonly is accredited to "Sauce Unknown".  There is a story on this website that explains why they have accredited the poem to two poets.

Candidate for a Pullet Surprise
by Mark Eckman and Jerrold H. Zar

I have a spelling checker,
It came with my PC.
It plane lee marks four my revue
Miss steaks aye can knot sea.
Eye ran this poem threw it,
Your sure reel glad two no.
Its vary polished in it's weigh.
My checker tolled me sew.
A checker is a bless sing,
It freeze yew lodes of thyme.
It helps me right awl stiles two reed,
And aides me when eye rime.
Each frays come posed up on my screen
Eye trussed too bee a joule.
The checker pours o'er every word
To cheque sum spelling rule.
Bee fore a veiling checker's
Hour spelling mite decline,
And if we're lacks oar have a laps,
We wood bee maid too wine.
Butt now bee cause my spelling
Is checked with such grate flare,
Their are know fault's with in my cite,
Of nun eye am a wear.
Now spelling does knot phase me,
It does knot bring a tier.
My pay purrs awl due glad den
With wrapped word's fare as hear.
To rite with care is quite a feet
Of witch won should bee proud,
And wee mussed dew the best wee can,
Sew flaw's are knot aloud.
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 pleas.

Its quite a funny poem.  I was thinking that to write a poem in SMS text language would be cool.

I think I am going to do that, when I get a chance.
