Why Not a Spelling Cow

Why is it a spelling bee, not a spelling cow?
Well, hey, she said. Let’s not be silly now.
A spelling bee makes sense in what way?
I have to ask this non-thinker, Miss Jay.
Stuck with her for a whole year of school.
She has no imagination, everything is a rule.
Why is an eager beaver not an eager leaguer?
She looks irritated now. Is she mad at me?
Second grade is going to be a horrible trip,
Because first grade frankly has been a complete zip.
