World's worst poet begs forgiveness Inspired letter by World's worst poet submits inspired Owed World's Worst Poet writes: Hoping you can forgive the grackle/gackle doggrel verse. As you well know, I'm pretty damned blind to my own typos. However, I'm pretty sure neither of us has ever come up with the doozy of the magnitude a compositor for one of the London papers did back in the latter part of the 19th century. In the daily record of the Queen's activities, the poor compositor accidentally(???) used an "i" instead of an "a" in announcing that at such and such a time, she would "pass" over London Bridge. Now that, Sir, is a typo!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! The WWPThanks, WWP A similar typo is claimed to have been entered in an obituary of a person who died of renal failure. - MUCH MALIGNED CM EDITOR This story was posted on 2014-03-26 09:08:26
