Countless trees to swing from,
endless leaves to bounce off,
and limitless branches to balance on.

He woke up and grabbed a fresh banana- his fuel for the day.
The day started with a warm-up,
a stretch for his legs and a lap for cardio.
He was ready to show off.

A deep breathe in, he looked through the glass at the crowd.
People of all ages, here to watch him.
He started simple,
a balanced walk followed by a controlled back flip.

The difficulty increased, as he climbed further up
Twisting arounds bars while, showing off his strength.
Front flips on the floor, his talents are shining through.
He completed his routine, a perfect 10.

Countless cheers,
endless applauses,
and limitless smiles.
