The printing press, long before the bit
Showed how Guttenberg’s brainwave
And Caxton’s new-found power of voice
Formed a new language, for a new age
The great vowel shift, was in full flux
Which helped craft such bad spellings
Scared the ‘h’ into ghosts and ghouls, these fools
Just to keep existing patterns propelling
Democratizing knowledge with books
But only using the chancery standard
The King’s English in print, gave more than a hint
That they would soon, kill off most of our language
A snapshot of one man’s lexicon, on one day
And how well-crafted words, can be wiped
With a fresh typeface, in an upper-case
Unphased by new cliches, and stereotypes
