I have a

Miss

Its
very polished in its weigh,
My
checker tolled me sew.
A
checker is a blessing.
It
freeze yew lodes of thyme.
It
helps me right awl stiles two reed,
And
aides me when aye rime.
Each
frays comes posed up on my screen
Eye
trussed too bee a joule.
The
checker pours o'er every word
To
cheque sum spelling rule.
Bee fore
a veiling checkers
Hour
spelling mite decline,
And
if we're laks oar have a laps,
We
wood bee maid too wine.
Butt now
bee cause my spelling
Is
checked with such grate flare,
There
are know faults with in my cite,
Of
nun eye am a wear.
Now
spelling does not phase me,
It
does knot bring a tier.
My
pay purrs awl due glad den
With
wrapped words fare as hear.
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.
Sow ewe
can sea why aye dew prays
Such
soft wear four pea seas,
And
why eye brake in two averse
Buy
righting want too please.
