The Figure Skater
One day
Good day
Young girl
Sweet girl
Who dream
Not scream
To be
And see
Herself
Not shelf
Fulfilled
Not chilled
Tumble
Not fall
Jump high
Aim high
Gyrate
And skate
To learn
Not spurn
Toe loop
Not hoop
Flip jump
Loop jump
To flip
And skip
Upright
Spin right
Then edge
Not wedge
Half turn
Not burn
Biellmann
Spin wan
Lutz jump
Not hump
Lay back
Not sack
Spiral
Tidal
Axel
So well
Twizzle
Dazzle
Camel
Not swell
Salchow
And show
Quick toes
Strong toes
Brave heart
One heart
Skating
Swirling
With pride
Not hide
A dream
That stream
And seen
On screen
Skater
Blazer
Bow...
Wow!
