There once was a racer named Petty,
the racetrack's unleashed bouncing betty.
He quipped to the fleet,
"When you cheat, cheat neat,
Or the racing officials will hit you with a fine that'll make your head swim and your youngun's go barefoot through five Daytonas."
(Sorry, of troy. The devil made me do it.)

In reply to:
The action is picking up fast,
A fad, how long can is last?
As we pick up the pace,
Can we find us an ace,
Who’s efforts will leave aghast?
I believe that you meant the word 'whose';
In English I seldom do snooze -
Don't mean to critique,
It's rhyming I seek -
Just needed a topic to choose!

To themilum, in third person rather than second for the sake of rhyme.
To my poem he may be nonplussed;
His retort was quite true and quite just.
But I'd like to show 'im
That quite like this poem,
Aghast with "u-s" is... august!

My face it is covered with egg
A pardon I must humble beg
Not one error, but TWO
What’s a gal to do?
When rightfuly taken down a peg?
It's in the kitchen you'll me spy
with Flour, and lard and *Spry
a filling to make
innerards to bake
Dinner tonigh? First course, humble pie!
Spry is a brand of vegetabel shorting, like crisco

Hang on, friends, there's more! Errors, yes errors galore! "Is" isn't "it", Which is as you have writ - Errors summed: one less than four! Meter's a little off but it's salvageable.

You might as well beat a dead horse
spelling errors are a matter of course
Better they are read
Not ignored, instead
(in trure, such errors create no remorse)

Take skookum, nark and bosh
Throw 'em all in a bowl with a nosh
Of fluttery peri.
"You'll love it, my dearie!"
Now that is a salad tosh.
"peri", today's Word of the Day, is pronounced PEER-ee. 1. A fairy in Persian mythology [per Anu]

You all are indeed quite prolific,
In fact I might dare say terrific.
Why must we waste time
To bicker 'bout rhyme?
Must we always be so scientific?
