Spelling Game

The people next to me are playing
Something I have often played
I can't unhear what they are saying
And yet can't interrupt and wade
Into their errors and their follies
Wielding my self-certain sword
Although I'd love to get my jollies
Challenging their whole word hoard
Alot is not a word, you know,
Unless you take it from a meme;
Don't change the groundrules as you go
Despite how tempting it may seem
And for the love of God, please stop
Condescending like a fop.
