OP44. More than he bargained for

A dyslexic proofreader, Miss Hyde
With a customer gladly complied

He wished to post signs
He was selling his pines
Now he thinks they should tell her she's fried.
Ed. note:  The last words of lines 4 and 5 are anagrams due to the dyslexia.  I couldn't figure out (but my brother did) that Miss Hyde had misspelled 'pines' on the signs (and she didn't write spine!)  Good one, Mr. Reddekopp!

  1. If you changed 'customer' to 'nurseryman', the selling of pines would make more sense... Just a suggestion -- it's still quite good!
