Edie's Ballet & School Report
Her teachers think she’s special
But everybody knows
It isn’t just the ballet
Keeps Edie on her toes
Her father has a double part
In fact he’s pa de deux
Role model when upon the stage
At home mentor for her
Her mother can be pretty strict
‘Bout tidying her room
And giving out a warning shot
When homework deadlines loom
And then, of course, there’s Sally
Who coached her from a tot
Like ladies they went lunching
We all miss her a lot
But Edie’s worked to make her mark
It hasn’t all been easy
And sometimes on those high up bars
It made me feel quite queasy
Our Edie’s done amazing things
To stand out from the crowd
Her Grandpa loves her very much
She always makes him proud.
