"Competition Craziness!"

"Stick your stunts and watch your lines,
If you do this, I'm sure you'll be fine."
These are the things Miss. Buzzeli would always say,
To prepare her cheerleaders for competition day.

As the practices got longer, we continued to look like a mess,
3rd degree of excellence, I truly expected nothing less.
The stunts were falling and our dance moves were far from tight,
If we looked like this in front of Miss. B, how would we look when we had stage fright?

So we arrived at competition and the time was coming near
Stick your stunts, smile, be tight; there was so much that we had to fear.
What if the flyers get so nervous that they don't stay in the air?
The bases must make sure that they handle every girl with care.

We ran out on the mat and we were the best that we could be,
Seeing the satisfied look on the judges' faces was the best thing I never thought I'd see.
As we awaited the announcement of whose performance was the best,
Each cheerleader's love for the squad was truly put to the test.

We heard them announce that we had gotten first place champions, overall!
We couldn't believe it, we had waited for this moment since the beginning of fall!
