Eye stold dis frum anodder net.
Candidate for a Pullet Surprise
Often called "An Owed to the Spelling Checker"

by 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 aye rime.

To rite with care is quite a feet
Of witch won should be proud.
And wee mussed dew the best wee can,
Sew flaws are knot aloud.

And now bee cause my spelling
Is checked with such grate flare,
Their are know faults with in my cite,
Of nun eye am a wear.

Each frays come posed up on my screen
Eye trussed to bee a joule
The checker poured o'er every word
To cheque sum spelling rule.

That's why aye brake in two averse
By righting wants too pleas.
Sow now ewe sea why aye dew prays
Such soft wear for pea seas!
 
=========
  If an S and an I and an O and a U
  With an X at the end spell Su;
  And an E and a Y and an E spell I,
Pray what is a speller to do?

Then, if also an S and an I and a G
  And an HED spell side,
  There's nothing much left for a speller to do
  But to go commit siouxeyesighed.
