Spelling Bee Poems
A Style Invitational contest ending tomorrow calls for poems or jokes involving 2021 National Spelling Bee words from Round 8 or later. I chose the former to save time on my quota. Here are my two entries:
Higgledy-piggledy
Rural Australia is
Loaded with critters we’d
Better beware.
These include octopi,
Thanatophidia,
Spiders and dingoes but
Not the drop bear.
(If you're wondering about my format there, look up double dactyls.)
The aviator did a vrille.
He thought it would be quite a thrill.
Alas, it caused some drinks to spill,
And passengers were far from chill.
A bunch of them were feeling ill.
He isn’t with the airline still.
