beware -t could happen 2 u 2 (change l-ne 2 2 "man" and l-ne 10 2 "he" -f appropr-ate)...


c what - mean?


a l-ttle wh-le ago
- met th-s woman
w-th a sm-le
2 make an athe-st bel-eve
& a f-gure
well - won't go -nto -t here
s-mply -ncred-ble
2 make a long story
short
she knocked my i's out
c what - mean?

I see, Sir, that you have been enchanted, for you are missing your i's. Take this small flower and rub it across your face and the i's will reappear if you say the proper enchantment. Do you know the words?

A small faery,

Lavender

Shouldn't it be "she knocked my -s out"? No "i" and no apostrophe?

Also, those -s representing "I" (the person rather than the capital letter of a more-than-one-letter word) ought to be capitalised (American: "capitalized"). The lack of capitalisation caused severe confusion in my reading of this poem.

Rob, I enjoyed this one - sharp, playful and clever. I wish -'d thought of it - sorry, I forgot the capital.

Mark.
