Express reactionsHow to Eat a Poem
Don't be polite. Bite in. Pick it up with your fingers and lick the juice that may run down your chin. It is ready and ripe now, wherever you are. You do not need a knife or a fork or a spoon or plate or napkin or tablecloth. For there is no core or stem or rind or pit or seed or skin to throw away. by Eve Merriam |

It is important that we spell-check our work! This is easier to do when you are typing on the computer, but it's not 100% accurate, as this poem shows.
Lesson to be learned? Even if you use spell-checker on the computer, also check it yourself!
