SPELL TT
Good Evening.

You can buy
 And you can sell, But answer us this,
 Can you spell? You can figure
 Up columns-well, Tell us the truth
 Can you spell? Have you ever
 Stood in line? Gone down the first round
 On kaleidoscope and kline. Words, it's true,
 Sound strange and weird, When given orally
 You find you're queered. You can write them
 But orally they don't jell, That's when you find
 You can't spell.

After awhile his friends notice the
