My spell check’s having a HISSY fit!
It just don’t get my poetic wit
and when caps is off and I press enter,
it seems to deem I’m a capital dissenter,
then swaps the letter with its low-case preventer.
(yeah, I wrote preventer!)
The backspace key is so use-worn shiny,
my back space looks like a slap-contused hiney
Hey, hiney IS spelled H-I-NE-Y!
It is not a mental glitch!
You dare question me?
You analytic switch!

This cracked me up last night, and it cracked me up today.
I have this image of you typing this, and that's cracking me up.
Did some random playing with sound/lines, nothing concrete, but i like the longer lines to support tone and language.

When I was in culinary school in Miami, I went on a field trip to The Forge restaurant and managed to slip away to visit a swank cigar bar next door. In the center of the bar there was a room sized, glass enclosed humidor which held dozens of wooden cubes housing cigars for famous stars (Madonna, Silvester Stallone, Pauly Shore...etc.) I was standing there speaking with the bartender and I told her in my slow southern drawl that I wanted to take a peek. She replied with a pointed finger that the bathroom is over there. I can't imagine why your poem made me feel the need to share that...  Nellie~ |
