The Cheerleader That Couldn’t Spell by Russ McKay

At Central High they had a cheerleading team

Being on it was each girl student’s dream

Hannah could do almost all the cheers well

But there WAS a problem…she just couldn’t spell

At Friday’s game she would lead many cheers

Her arms shaping letters with all of her peers

But when it came time to spell out the school

Her crowd responses were much less than cool

After she finished trying to spell “Central”

The fans would all yell “Yeah for Xquenraal”

The coach gave her printed letters to hold up instead

But when she did…here’s what they read

“Tencral…Tencral…fight fight fight!”

She misspelled the school name all of the night

The coach then made a decision that he thought was a cure

Even Hannah’s poor spelling would be helped for sure

Hannah would hold ONE sign at the end of the line

And since it was the apostrophe all would be fine

But poor Hannah still had a problem…as everyone found

‘Cause she mistakenly held the apostrophe…upside down
