    Hitting the wrong key

    What constitutes a typo?
    Should the wrong letters
    be no more than a key or two away
    from those intended?
    Or when the word’s mixed up
    must it be a perfect anagram
    of what was originally meant?

    What type of errors turn
    I’ll always love you
    Into I’ll move out?

    Firebird, delightfully entertaining and clever! If I get the blues today, I'm coming back to this! Laurie

    The only part I thought was a little awkward was "be no more than a letter or two away
    from those intended?" Other than that, I like it.

    Ah, dear Firebird, how I love that clever mind of yours. Another gem to add to your treasures, you'll be needing an additional chest soon at this rate. Much enjoyed.

    Best,
    Lisa

    Wow, Firebird, it's been a little while since you posted this. I'm glad it was resurrected, it's a good little piece.

    Is this the poetry section or the writer's lounge?
    Haha that was honestly my first reaction. Humorous and I love the witty ending.
