Spelling was no friend of mine, I never got an A
Maybe it's an Omen, of what my life will B
Teachers know I did my best, as far as I can C
What future lies ahead of me, at least it's not a D
In 69, when Man met Moon, I spelled to grade E
Very poor scholastically, but just above grade F
Spelling grades are simpler, by marking good a G
Utah makes it easier, as our only state ends in H

Spelling well enables me to face life eye to I
Soaring me, sharing heights, with the old Blue J
I know I'm not to perfect, but I do spell O K
Like looking for a place, in this stanza for an L
I'm spellbound, it's scandalous, for using letter M
Spelling is so tedious, when following with an N
Give me another state, like Ohio ends with O
And you will not find a single state, ending in a P
Thanks to my spelling, I have a twitch in my I Q
But as it goes, its who you honestly think you R
Like our man of steel, where on his chest was an S
Be strong, dot each i, and a cross on every T
When it comes down to spelling, let it just be U
Flash your sign of Victory, boasting of your V
Joining V signs with your brother, displays a W
Fortunately for us too, there's not much use for X
Wish I had the answer, and I don't know Y
Maybe that's the way, Spelling is suppose to Z
