Spelling Bee

Locked in a tiny room like a thief
Doing hard labor beyond belief
Sitting on the throne
With a groan and moan
Concentrating on spelling relief

Guess that gives a whole new meaning to the old Alka Selzer commercial…"Plop plop, fizz fizz, oh what a relief it is."…Love the poem Line, and congrats on being featured.

Thanks, Kim. I find limericks the hardest to write so your comment means a lot to me.
