Spellin' Bee

Nonsense.

Tit for Tat.

Crack open my head with a baseball bat.

Hoping that's enough of that.

How do we really know that a cat has nine lives?

And bees always return to hives?

Does evil always wither and goodness thrive?

Better to laugh than cry says I.

Even if you don't know why.

Because dentures can't be detected as easily as a lie.

Forget your sorrow.

Live each day like there's no tommorow.

Beg, steal or borrow.

A healthy chagrin may do you in.

Along with the unruly hairs on your chinny, chin chin.

Remember to always brush your tooth before you grin.

How will you ever get to eat that watermelon?

Before the clock strikes eleven.

In seventh heaven.

If you're locked-up like a felon.

Not to mention ...

... weak in spellin' ...

This was so fun to read. It's been a while since I've purely enjoyed something just for the sound of it. Not that this isn't deep or interesting, that's the amazingness of it, that it is all of those things too! But the musicality of this poem made me fall in love in an almost childish way. Thank you for making me feel that poet, it's been quite a gloomy day. Excellent work!
