Talk-To-Text-To-Poetry (TTTTP)

I have discovered a new poetry design, new to me anyway. Like many others, I have been vexed many times by the lack of accuracy in the talk-to-text function of my smartphone. Let's just say, it's hardly ever functional. So in an effort to get some use out of the talk-to-text, I am now going to use it almost exclusively to create misheard poetry. I plan to try to document both what I say and what the phone hears. This may prove to be impossible if I continue in the stream of consciousness talking mode that I used for this initial foray. Here is the first of many talk-to-text-to-poems, hopefully.

Solid Thousand In the Morning 

So I'm down to the turnover, 
Solid thousand in the morning 
and the one wired around everything, 
so you compass encompassing 
you really party

The only word of that that I remember saying was 'encompassing'.
