You Got It Wrong!

There was no mercy
in Ms. Telleson’s
tenth grade English class
for those who misspelled a single word,
she screamed and bang her ruler
against her desk,
leaving us petrified.

Agnes, Super A model student
was her pet,
her source to ridicule the rest of us,
until once she misspelled,
Tuesday.

Embarrassment
sweat from Agnes forehead,
we thought she was doomed,
only teacher called it creativity,
spelled favoritism.
