Alter in a letter
Affects all lives

Mistakes of unfortune
Experience the pain 
The way is learn...

There once was a lad named Nate
Who in the spelling bee did participate
But the audience did blush
As poor Nate got flush
After failing to spell constipate...

A talking bird is smart let’s agree,
they have a wonderful vocabulary,
so it may seem bazaar,
that as smart as birds are;
Are they smarter than a 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

Rough as in ruff,
Spelling can be tough
Though as in fro,
Just so you know
Bough as in how,
Seldom seen now
Cough as in doff,
Just laugh it off
Lough as in lock,
Spelling can rock
Enough!
Enough!
Enough!

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

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!"...

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....

In competition, neck and neck
They held each other's pace.
The crowd was rooting silently
The whole entire race.

The both of them so well-prepared,
They'd practiced and they'd trained,
So every possibility
Their brains had entertained.

The final minutes soon approached
And I was thrilled to see
Both Vanya* and Gokul* were winners
Of the Spelling Bee!


*Vanya Shivashankar and Gokul Venkatachalam
were declared co-winners of the 2015
Scripps National Spelling Bee last night....
