It came with my pea sea
It plainly marques four my revue
Miss steaks eye can knot sea.

Eye strike a quay and type a word

And weight four it two say
Weather eye am wrong oar write

And eye can put the error rite

I am shore your pleased two no
Its letter perfect in its weigh
My chequer tolled me sew.
