I think that this poem, the the impotence of proofreading by Taylor Mali is a funny poem that imporms the audience about the importence of proofreading your work after it is done. Some of the poetic devices that Taylor Mali uses are; repitition at the beginning of line 13, 14, 15 and the poem itself is ironic how he is talking about the importance of proofreading and he is messing all of his words up (on purpose obviously). Also he uses Alliteration in line 5, 21 and 23 (Proofreading your Peppers, Sleazy Street and Chukker can't can't catch catch). He also uses alot of exageration with all of the mistakes he make in writing his poem. I think that this overall meaning of the poem is that if you don't check over you homework you will probably make lots of mistakes and misspell a whole lots of works so that when you go to hand it in or present it you will look like an idiot trying to find out what you were actually trying to say in the piece of writing. I chose this poem because when I was searching for one of his poems to chose I came across this and thought it would be a funny poem to write about. I was also thinking of misspelling a lot of words in this paragraph but then I thought that you might take marks off.

The the impotence of proofreading By Taylor Mali [|www.taylormali.com]

1. Has this ever happened to you? 2. You work very horde on a paper for English clash 3. And then get a very glow raid (like a D or even a D=) 4. and all because you are the word¹s liverwurst spoiler. 5. Proofreading your peppers is a matter of the the utmost impotence. 6. This is a problem that affects manly, manly students. 7. I myself was such a bed spiller once upon a term 8. that my English teacher in my sophomoric year, 9. Mrs. Myth, said I would never get into a good colleague. 10. And that¹s all I wanted, just to get into a good colleague. 11. Not just anal community colleague, 12. because I wouldn¹t be happy at anal community colleague. 13. I needed a place that would offer me intellectual simulation, 14. I really need to be challenged, challenged menstrually. 15. I know this makes me sound like a stereo, 16. but I really wanted to go to an ivory legal colleague. 17. So I needed to improvement 18. or gone would be my dream of going to Harvard, Jail, or Prison 19. (in Prison, New Jersey). 20. So I got myself a spell checker 21. and figured I was on Sleazy Street. 22. But there are several missed aches 23. that a spell chukker can¹t can¹t catch catch. 24. For instant, if you accidentally leave a word 25. your spell exchequer won¹t put it in you. 26. And God for billing purposes only 27. you should have serial problems with Tori Spelling 28. your spell Chekhov might replace a word 29. with one you had absolutely no detention of using. 30. Because what do you want it to douch? 31. It only does what you tell it to douche. 32. You¹re the one with your hand on the mouth going clit, clit, clit. 33. It just goes to show you how embargo 34. one careless clit of the mouth can be. 35. Which reminds me of this one time during my Junior Mint. 36. The teacher read my entire paper on A Sale of Two Titties 37. out loud to all of my assmates. 38. I¹m not joking, I¹m totally cereal. 39. It was the most humidifying experience of my life, 40. being laughed at pubically. 41. So do yourself a flavor and follow these two Pisces of advice: 42. One: There is no prostitute for careful editing. 43. And three: When it comes to proofreading, 44. the red penis your friend.
