Nit Picker Poem by Andy Brookes

You hit the nail on the head Andy there ARE to many not pickers in the world today?

ok, i've just looked up the definitions of " nitpicker" /nit picker. Oh, Andy, let's be fair! for the most part, the definitions cast*** a nit picker as overly-fussy, and perhaps even mean, and potentially a villainous creature who concentrates on fault-finding, giving little or no regard to e.g. suggesting improvements which may be made, for example, in a poem. : ( i plead innocent of such activity! ! and i hope i used " cast" properly. bri :)

and furthermore: do you have a poem entitled Nose Picker? i could pick THAT one. bri ;)

3 - p.s. ha ha. T. Allport (another of my PH friends) uses " to" instead of " too" , below. what can i say? i am a proud charter member of the NpOA, Nitpickers Of America. p.p.s. but SERIOUSLY, i'd rather read a poem which makes sense to me, and perhaps has some rhyming, some (tastefully done, of course) , and humour/humor, but teeming with typos, than a typo-free poem which failed the above tests. ;)

2 - i'd have to read the poem in question to see what i would suggest, if anything, to " improve" it. actually, to some of " us" , readers, (at least to me) , the typos and grammatical 'errors' or 'peculiarities' DO sometimes interfere with our reading and enjoyment of a poem. that's why i proofread my stuff so much (one reason) . how ya doin', my friend? ? to MyPoemList. bri :)

1 - a 'new' word for me: dudgeon " noun a feeling of offense or deep resentment" She WOULDN'T, would she? ! Ah! " nitpicker" here, " nit picker" there? ? ? ha ha. but my mom did perhaps pick some nits from my head hair before sending me to school each morning (kidding) . ok, for real: Andy, i think you may be referring to me as the " Nit Picker" , though you disguise me as a female.
