Eating His Words
Jordan is a genius.
He's the spelling bee champ
at our school.
There's not a word
that he can't spell.
And that, to me, is cool!
"Jordan, how did you get
so smart?" I asked.
"Because as I recall,
you were the worst speller
in our class. But now
you can spell them all."
With a grin on his face,
he answered,
"Oh, I'm not so extraordinary.
But the smartest thing I ever did,
was eat the dictionary!"
