Jen H. Poet Rhyme

S-P-E-L-L-I-N-G B-E-E

l-a-n-g-o-s-t-a
I spell and spell all day
a-m-a-r-i-l-l-o
Words I don't even know

a-l-g-o-r-i-t-h-m
A word of Arabic origin?
p-e-r-n-i-c-i-o-u-s
Meaning harm; at Webster's best

c-o-l-l-o-q-u-i-a-l
Or at least I think that's how it's spelled
All for this stupid spelling bee
a-n-n-o-y-i-n-g
