Spelling bee Smartypants.
I have really had enough!
(Of spelling bees and sim’lar stough).
Some words simply flow, although
Why others don’t I‘ll never knough!
It’s as if a writer’s cough,
Was put there just to slough us ough!
Testing times they put us through;
And perfect scores are very fough.
Not for winners, horse and plough
Easy street for them and hough!
Sitting highest in the borough,
Laughing like a kookaborough.
But here am I, in life’s deep trough
Becoming to-tal-ly pissed ough
And wond’ring if I’ll get my wish
To ask them how they’d spell ‘swordphysche’!
With apologies to Jingle Poetry.

No sorry, dear friend,
ReplyDeleteyou are a true poet,
you work on your own schedule,
I am tickled whenever you came in...
I bless you for your day if not...
Glad to see you.
