A cutting from the archives!
I found the following cutting – taken from The Times Magazine that comes with the Saturday edition. This particular cutting is from…….I do not know when and have not been able to research a date either! My recollection and this is based on a hazy memory is that I cut it out in the late 1990’s – nearly an antique!
Anyway it certainly made an impression then and still made me chuckle today!
I did discover that is was written by Martha Snow – although this could be incorrect – perhaps that is due to the age of the piece!
The full poem is here
Spell chequer
Martha Snow
Eye halve a spelling chequer
It came with my pea sea
It plainly marques four my revue
Miss steaks eye kin knot sea.
Eye strike a quay and type a word
And weight four it two say
Weather eye am wrong oar write
It shows me strait a weigh.
As soon as a mist ache is maid
It nose bee fore two long
And eye can put the error rite
It’s rare lea ever wrong.
Eye have run this poem threw it
I am shore your pleased two no
It’s letter perfect awl the weigh
My chequer tolled me sew.
