When I strike a quay or right a word, I weight four it two say,
weather eye am wrong oar write, it shows me strait a weigh

As soon as a mist ache is maid it noes bee fore two late
and eye can put the error rite its rarely, rarely grate
I've run this poem threw it I'm shore your pleased too no
Its letter perfect in it's weigh, my chequer toiled me sew!
