Did they know that
When they spelled it this way
The confusion it would cause
For someone looking for
Main
Or did they secretly smile
Wink
Tip their top hats
In a furtive salute
To their cleverness
A dormant joke
In an era of newsprint
And telegraph
Reawakened with
The telephone
And television
Fading now with
Text re-emerging
It's vestiges
For taxi drivers
And poems that can't be read
Aloud
