Hell and Autospell

It’s got a mind of its own
this insolent smartphone
correcting my spelling at will

It makes changes so absurd
of most commonplace words
I confess I’ve just had my fill

Why, just the other day
When I simply wanted to say
Aida it typed out Aidan instead

And when I tried to type “Curt”
it used a rude “C” word
This autospell’s getting inside my head

Part of the problem I surmise
Is the condition of my eyes
The letters on the screen are too small

My vision used to be
At least 20/20 you see
Now I can’t read anything at all

My fingers it seems
Are too large for the screen
I can’t press each key on its own

So when I sent you “good luck”
But you read “good fuck”
It wasn’t me, it was the phone!
