I'm putting this one in my library to ponder and try to solve.

Good work! I'll see what I can do - my pet peeve is when a writer uses an apostrophe for a plural.

Sounds like a pretty steep challenge, Leland! (Hey, gotta love poetic license, eh Katy? And I laughed hysterically at Kaaaa's message.)

"Yore" on, Leland. [ha ha] (Might take me a day - or three!)

Leland, you've posed a 'head-scratcher' and I'm going to see what I can do.. your own entry is delightful, to be sure, but I'm having just as much fun reading your comments here.. (smile) I do believe you have opened that 'can of worms' we've all heard tell of.. keep watching the "new poems" list.. I suspect you may see answers to this drift in for quite a while... backing away, beginning to scratch said head, looking amusedly confused.. lol. katy. p.s. I, too, am a stickler for these things but very forgiving of my fellow poets when I love what they say. "Poetic license' is renewable with me. (grin)

As a dyslexic...I am most impressed. But it reminds me too much of my college days when my mother sent my letters back to me with the spelling corrected. **S** Nicely done.

This reminds me of the double-entendre poem I wrote a couple of weeks ago. Only it was not a single sentence.

Here is one of my pet peeves, your & you're.

A great challenge... but quite hazardous for me to take. To dare or not to dare... here is my question.
