Otto

Well...

Otto is a spiteful sprite,
Trying to wreck my writing,
And he just might!

“So”s become “do”s
So many times.
What is in common -
Other than rhymes?

Poor “smurfs” turn to “snuff”,
“Through” is not “tough”.
I am telling you, Otto,
I’ve had quite enough!

“Refuse” is “refused”,
My email rejected,
Appears my phone
Is completely infected!

Rants are turned cute,
Who says “ducking”?
With my words,
He is seriously fu----

Yes, Otto Korrect,
that clever sprite,
Has even kept his
True name from sight!

Author's Note

I feel as though some polishing might be in order. Any ideas?
Two people helped me name Otto Korrect. You know who you are.

This is so clever! You put into this the frustration I think many of us have at times
dealing with a recalcitrant computer. Thanks for your good job.

Thanks Dave. My phone and Otto seem to be particularly good friends...

How about an "Answer Machine" that doesn't answer??

[Shannon]

That's pretty old school. I have also been wondering if his friend Ty Poe might join in the fray!

You got me. Otto Korrect. Freaking awesome.
I loved it.

Can't believe you took me by surprise.
Keep up the good work.

Thanks so much. Humor new for me, really. I take myself by surprise everytime I write something I am happy with or that people like.

Relatable to the fullest... Otto Korrect has become a nightmare to me, as it puts it's own thoughts in place of mine, and makes me feel like I'm a play doll obeying it's orders...

You did very well to state the complications it causes to many of us... A nice protesting write against our modern enemy of typing "Otto Korrect"... This is a brilliant work just as your all the other works...

Sincerely
