Corn on the Blog

The corn silk flew at an alarming rate.
"Give me an S!" Jack yelled.

"Give me an H!" He encouraged again as we all did the wave around the room.

I nervously stepped up to the plate. It has been awhile since I competively shucked corn... wait, I have never competitively shucked corn...There was no time like then to start my blazing corn career.
