Confessions of a Former Spelling Bee Champion
There once was a guy named Kibau
Who lived on a farm with a plough.
He once swore a vow
Never once to say “Ciao”
And you get the point: Spelling is stupid.

Who went for a leisurely jague.
He ran for a while
With a big happy smhile
But, alas, he fell into a bague.

North and Whyknown’uh Approve
Parents these days think names
Are unique if spelled a different way.
Alas we end up asking
“How do you spell William with a K?”

Lacking Results From My C/T Scan (In A Sense)
I have a confession:
I can’t spell dietician.
Autocorrect is not helpful
And abuses its position.
If it has a “c” or “t”
For the ician/itian portion
Forces all my logic
To perform quite the contortion.
I was going to write a poem
Full of whimsy, fun, and laughter
But I lacked aforementioned spellings
That I’d long-since afore-sought after.
Thus you get this poem
Lacking good diet advice.
On the bright side dumbness inspired me
And I guess that’s pretty nice.

Ooh (with a silent H) Burn
Salmon has a silent L.
Nothing has a silent Q.
I wish I were like the word “vague,”
That is, with a silent U.
