The typographical error is a slippery thing and sly,
You can hunt till you are dizzy, but it somehow will get by.
'Til the copy is off the typewriter, it is strange
how still it keeps.
It shrinks down in a comer and it never stirs or peeps.
That typographical error, too small for human eyes,
BTil the ink is on the paper, vfaen it grows to mountain siae.
The Editor, she stares with horror, then she grabs her hair
and groans.
She drops her head upon her hands and moans.
The remainder of the paper may be as
clean as clean can be—
but the typo is the only thing you see!
