This was indeed comical. I had seen the first verse before in another
post somewhere, but the full thing did pose me some difficulty in
three of its lines... here's what I think it says.

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 surely glad to know.
It is correct in every way,
my checker told me so.

A checker is a blessing;
it frees you loads of time.
It helps me write styles you can read, (?)
and aids me when I rhyme.

Each phrase composed upon my screen
is trusted to be a jewel. (?)
The checker ****es over every word
to check some spelling rule.

Before availing checkers (?)
our spelling might decline.
If we are 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 words so fair to hear.

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 into a verse
with writing sure to please.
