On the Internet I find
Critiques of films I’ve seen,
Classical CD’s, by a reviewer
Who, someone has decided,
Is forty-eight percent like me.
How does this happen, thinks one
Who hears the tenor line
But not the melody,
And finds in Spell Checker
A paradigm for our days:
Would be right
If it were about something else.
