Thanks, Carol, and interesting point, bear. Anyone ever hear of a 'mishy-phen'? Three lines, rhyming aaa, any regular meter, and a hypen error ending lines one or two.
For example:
Correct hyphenation, I vow,
is important when dealing with cow-
orkers in poetry now.
In novels of Agatha Christie,
one seldom will notice a misty-
ped word in the text of her twisty.
So never be one of those guys
who write incorrectly with flys-
watter words that are scattered to skies.
The best ones include bad hyp-
henation that ties two connected words together for a double entendre.
A 'pun' mishy:
I once knew a sweetie named Bubbles,
the lady I paid for her troubles-
hooting my tennis, at doubles.
