…a homage to ogden nash

brought up sharp by a typo
in the grauniad        where else
where it is ok to air your lack of having been to a
school for the feckless sons
of portulent plutocrities

sceptacism

if you’re going to expose your illiteracy
for which in this age of spelling checkers
there is not the slightest excuse
then why hesitate to boldly go and flaunt it
make it so bad it’s good

sceptocism
skeptysizm
sckeptoosisum

getting wilder now…
schkleptoschmizzmus

excuse me while I adjust my spectacles
that last one tickled my sceptacles
