Mark O’Flynn: ‘If Joyce had Spellchack’ – Bloomsday Supplement 2026

It’s hard walk evian when ewe
do it eweself rather
than raliegh wa(l)ter, to too two heavenly
on spielcheque spellchack, witch eye
yam tolled is going going gone
the weigh of the dododon’t.
Their (wheir?) are moor misterrors
2 bee or knot otherwhys, texting
Texans plaicing two mooch
piscatorial imagines on autocollect (nup)
matic (nein) mattock (no) mobiles (non)
fish (noo). The strangle to make cents
of it owl is knot the punt. Homophones
and homonyms hum their honey hymns.
Rather either it twood be lees
of a disappoint(ce)ment to make
ewe oar we oar us wake uP

[Artificial sugar plaid noh pert in the under
miss construction of Theseus thesis
