Here is a poem that seems to fit in with this discussion (pardon the
inclusion of this drivel on the serious list)

'Candidate for a Pullet Surprise' by Jerrold H. Zar

I have a spelling checker
It came with my PC
It plane lee marks four my revue
Miss steaks aye can not 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
Each frays come posed up on my screen
Eye trussed too bee a joule
The checker pours o'er every word
To cheque some spelling rule
Bee fore a veiling checker's
Hour spelling mite decline
And if were lacks oar have a laps
Wee wood be made too wine
Butt now bee cause my spelling
Is checked with such grate flare
Their are know fault's with in my cite,
Of nun I am a wear.
Now spelling does knot phase me,
It does not brig a tier
My pay purrs awl due glad den
With wrapped word's fare as hear
To rite with care is quite a feet
And we mussed dew the best wee can,
Sew flaw's are knot aloud
Sew eye can sea why are dew prays
Such soft wear four pea seas
And why are brake in two averse
By righting want to pleas
