Otto Van Carrot began as a sneeze

of the brain right when you don't need him to be.

His black magic fingers replace your tired digits when unaware

And when you proofread you say " was I there?

Auto correct is his cohort

and makes you scream when forth becomes fort.

Thanks for the shoutout!

Typos can be so funny! I was at a book sale this weekend so I pulled up a list of books I'm looking for on my phone. The first one on my list said "The Armpit." It took me a while to figure out that my phone had used the autocorrect from "The Armor."

Armpit… armor… after all, Otto von Carrot’s best cohort was on the job.

gigglesnort. Yes, typos are annoying. I do certain ones by habit now. But the most annoying was in my first book. I typed "handwriting" instead of "hand wing." Heavy sigh.

In my head I typed nigh. My fingers wrote neigh. I had to go back and reedit everything...

Don't forget those typos breed and infect whole libraries. I just found out there is an Otterville Missouri. Not to far from me 🤣🤣

I will try to think about it. Hopefully auto correct doesn’t kick in!

Auto correct!? Ugh I am very prone to typos. It is embarrassing sometimes, but mostly funny. I still have not learned to proofread everything I type 😂

I love this little poem 🙌
