Spellbound

More homophone poems. There’s quite a backlog here, because you can’t read more than a few at a time without feeling a headache coming on.
Darell Ridell submits an ode to his spell checker: ‘It snot that eye am daft a tall/Eye merely can not spell/For my key bored it as got to old/An ditz not bin feline well’.
‘Eye ewes ah rye Ming dick shun airy/Ones every noun then,’ begins Dave Jakeman. ‘Four with sum luck, eye get unstuck/Then off eyes tried a gain/Butt udders steak this serious lee…’ aargh, we can’t take any more.
Our favourite this week: David Richardson gets a homophone carol past the spell checker: ‘Sigh lent knight/Wholly knight/Hall hiss charm/Hall hiss rite/Ground yen verge inn/Mutter hand chilled…’ and so on.
