Analysis of Ode to Jody Ann Maxwell
Children, children, heed and listen well
Jody Ann knows the vowels
Jody Ann knows the syllables
And Jody Ann knows how to spell
Jody stand tall
For Jamaicans all
Jody is having a ball
Every other contestant fall
For Jody's pronunciation call
"Thank you, sir," she replied
Then gave the correct spelling
Jody, Jody, what a girl?
Jody, Champion Spelling Bee, 1998
