This is not funny - is it?

orchidee

Now lookie here

This is not funny, is it?

I mean, I want to write something 

In the 'humour' category (UK spelling)

But it's never there

It's always 'humor' (USA spelling)

 

C'mon now, you got no 'U's there

On your typewriter or keyboard?

And did typewriters go out of use

About 5 million years ago?

 

I worked in one place

Some dodgy electrics

If one used the fax machine

It cut off everything else electrical

We might have blown up!

Then again - do fax machine exist these days?

The basic ones, I mean

Nothing complicated or technological

 

And - is it 'humorous' or 'humourous'?

Does the UK change to USA spelling

To give us 'humorous'?!

Oh, I dunno, maybe it's 'humerus'

A bone of the arm! lol.

    Sounds like a bone of contention and I wonder if it is gray or grey or if you want to dig deeper plough or plow it up and analyze or analyse it. A great writ Orchi I won't apologize or should I say apologise for my spelling because it has always been bad anyway. A fun read and a fave
