I'm not a poet, and I sometimes misinterpret what a writer means... but I thought this was hilarious!

(I do love to rhyme but Euphoria.... I'll have to think about that one )

Actually, I got the meaning wrong the 1st time... I guess because most people seem to miss-spell("miss-pell" likely not spelled or spelt-UK version right, either)- prob. don't care to bother with typos or English as 2nd language or spelling's not their thing- so I didn't catch that this poem is about the possible origin of different spellings

til just now ...
after re-reading your poem & comment again today - great poem!

I'm just slow at times- ADHD -but once I catch on, I usually catch on well. So here's a line to rhyme for you(but not from my brighter mind -from my husband who is also a poet):

"...they don't get this trouble in Pretoria"

p.s.re:your comment-from the dictionary, or not- sounds just like me

P.S.You did see it in the dictionary - I looked it up!
Your poem is extra interesting to me, as I've been learning lots of new terms & spellings during the past 2 yrs.

I better get going... my pc is on the blitz yet again(I think that's a term common to Queen's & U.S. English? ) & of course, I'm on the move again as well

See, I remembered - I spelled(spelt) humor(humour)right... Once again, very clever poem
