The Typo Goblin

The Typo Goblin

May 6, 2020 Colin Lawson Comments 0 Comment

I am the Typo Goblin, my heart is made of flint,

My role in life is simply this: to keep you out of print.

I sneak into your manuscript and do my fiendish work,

Adding errors guaranteed to make you look a berk.

And then I cast the ‘Careless’ spell: you say, ‘Ah, what the heck!’

And pop your script into the post without that final check.

At length some hapless editor receives your golden wit,

And after reading fifty words he writes it off as … unpublishable.

– Michael Shenton
