Auto-Complete
When I write one of these poems
And add my name at the bottom
I start to add the date and as soon as
I write the month
Word auto-completes to the right
Date and year.
It’s like a miracle
Saving me time, money and
Creative energy
(not much, but I’ll take
All I can get).
Auto-complete can turn rogue
As we all know
Completing “Ain’t Jenny” for
“Aunt Jenny,”
“Squirrelmeat” for
“Secrets (I don’t know how),
And “unicorn” for
“Uniform.”
In spite of all these,
I’d still rather have
Auto-complete.

(For some reason, the date didn’t auto-complete this time. Writing about it jinxed it.)
