OWED TO THE SPELL CHECKER

I halve 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.

Ane 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 to pleas.
Sew now eye sea why aye dew prays
Such soft wear for pea seas!
