It's not an ode, it's a haiku I came across trying to find out why Open Office no longer works properly in Windows 11. Yesterday it worked. Today it is not working. Windows is like that. |

They keep changing things! Adding bits I don't need . I remember MS Works- far better than the Office that I am now afflicted with! |

As someone more versed in these things once said: "To write a poem in seventeen syllables is very diffic"

I wasn't going to correct Paul, but a poet should know that "difficult" is dif-fi-cult, so the last word should be "diffi". |

John Cooper-Clarke is a performance poet from Salford (the land of Coronation Street). Coincidentally I watched an interview with him 2 nights ago, on the only English channel we can get on Turkish TV - BBC World News, on the "Hard Talk" feature. He said that as his poems are written to be read aloud, the way it sounds is most important. Given his Salford accent, it would not have the same (comic) effect if he ended it with the word "diffi". In fact it would sound very 'iffy' if he said' diffy'  It has to be diffic. therefore I argue that the last syllable of difficult is 'ult'.  edit PS, in another interview a while back, John Cooper Clarke said not only does he not own a mobile phone, he doesn't own a computer, so your ode / haiku to Windows 11 would be sadly lost on him.
