had a disaster with mu k-uboard
por-d coff– in th- cracks
now it sits and dri-s out slowl-u
whil- I work out what it lacks
it won’t do th- l-tt-r

in alwaus typ-s a u inst-ad
and th- vow-l that sits b-tw–n d and f
is just compl-tl-u d-ad
i’ll tru to continu-
and writ- a po-m
but as words k–p r-aranging
I want to writ-
Sallu but it turns into Sallu
as th- l-tt-rs just k–p changing
