The Spell Checker Poem
(Mark Eckman)
I have a spelling checker
It came with my PC
It highlights for my review
Mistakes I cannot see.
I ran this poem through it
I'm sure you’re pleased to know
It’s letter perfect in its way
My checker told me so.

Spelling Checker
by Margo Roark
I have a spelling checker
It came with my PC
It plainly marks for my review
Mistakes I cannot see.
I strike a key and type a word
And wait for it to say
Whether I am wrong or right
It shows me straight away.
As soon as a mistake is made
It knows before too long
And I can put the error right
It's rarely ever wrong.
I have run this poem through it
I am sure you’re pleased to know
It's letter perfect all the way
My checker told me so.

Candidate for a Pullet Surprise
by Mark Eckman and Jerrold H. Zar
I have a spelling checker,
It came with my PC.
It plainly marks for my review
Mistakes I cannot see.
I ran this poem through it,
You’re sure real glad to know.
It’s very polished in its way.
My checker told me so.
A checker is a blessing,
It frees you loads of time.
It helps me write all styles to read,
And aids me when I rhyme.
Each phrase composed up on my screen
I trust to be a jewel.
The checker pours o'er every word
To check some spelling rule.
Before availing checkers
Our spelling might decline,
And if we're lax or have a lapse,
We would be made to whine.
But now because my spelling
Is checked with such great flair,
There are no faults within my sight,
Of none I am aware.
Now spelling does not faze me,
It does not bring a tear.
My papers all do gladden
With rapt words fair as here.
To write with care is quite a feat
Of which one should be proud,
And we must do the best we can,
So flaws are not allowed.
So you can see why I do praise
Such software for PCs,
And why I break in to a verse
By writing want to please.
