N is for Nostalgia and Narcissism

         
          N is for Nostalgia and Narcissism

    Tread carefully when you address me,
    The Spelling Bee Winner, 1983.
    I suffer fools, but not gleefully,
    Ever since I prevailed in that Spelling Bee.

    I shall never forget intoning deeply,
    "I-N-E-X-C-U-S-A-B-L-E"
    That's how I defeated little Tracy
    In the Spelling Bee, 1983.

    And while we're on the subject,
    I might as well say,
    You can't spell that word
    Without "U-S-A"! 

    Second acts, who needs them? Surely not me.
    I've been everything I aspired to be,
    Tasted the sweet syrup of victory,
    So bear that in mind before you flee
    The Spelling Bee Winner, 1983.
