[PANCH, spoken]
Now for the official spelling bee rules:
A speller
May ask questions
About the word's pronunciation or definition
It's use in a sentence
And it's language of origin
Once you start to spell a word, you may start over—
[SPELLERS]
A speller
May ask questions
Definition
In a sentence!
Language of origin
[PANCH & IMPATIENT SPELLERS]
But the sequences of letters already spoken
May not be changed
[RONA, spoken]
Whoa! Whoa!
[RONA]
If you misspell a word
We will ring
The bell
[SPELLERS]
Misspell a word
You will ring
[Panch rings bell.]
[RONA]
And the comfort couns'lor
[MITCH, spoken]
Mitch Mahoney
[SPELLERS]
Mitch Mahoney
[RONA]
Will escort you offstage!
[PANCH, spoken]
Is that understood spellers?
[SPELLERS]
Yes
[RONA]
Before anyone is disqualified
And before proceedings turn snide
And contestants turn nasty
I soberly confide:
In the moment before the bee
Claims its first catastrophe
I love what I see:
Kids acting innocently
It's my favorite moment of the bee
Rona's favorite moment of the bee
