 I choose this poem, because I like comical types of literature. The funny side of this, is that he was a teacher, meaning he should never maek mistakes on his sprlling. He is talking about what can happen, if you do not work hard. Such as when kids use a spell checker, and it won't show that they they have missed a word or made a grammatical mistake.
