The Curse

 

How is it I can write a word

that fits so easily

yet spell it incorrectly

a mistake I never see,

 

Only after I push send

does someone point it out

the only reason there must be

it is a curse - no doubt,

 

But who would give me such a curse

to disrupt my letters so?

Surely not my racket club

it’s no one that I know,

 

A stranger then, I’m sure of it

just random I can tell –

they left behind a puddle

and I stepped into a spell,

 

I got a little on my shoe

it splashed upon my cuff

It hung on all through laundry day

this pesky curse was tuff,

 

It’s on my shirts and in my socks

it is on my underwear,

and I’m thinking back on Tuesday

I combed it through my hair.

 

Spell-check doesn’t catch it

the grammar police don’t see

I guess I have to live with

the curse all over me.
