Survivor of seasons.
Footballer, maker of new school,
Player of the tigers and movie goers;
cols, dull, changing,
L.I.T.T.L.E. town
They tell me you are wicked and i believe them, for I have seen your worst side of the broken down town;
And they tell me you are crooked and I answer: Yes, it is true for I have been in an old, broken school.
And they tell me you are brutal and my reply is:Your point is?
And having answered so I turn once more to those who sneer at this my town, and I give them back the sneer and say to them:
Come and show me another town with lifted head singing so proudly;
"We have tiger pride".
Flinging magnetic curses amid the toil of piling sport on sport; here is the tall bold slugger set vivid with night skies alive;
Fierce as a football player getting ready for a tackle, cunning as the softball team at a tournament,
Spirited,
Hardworking,
Peaceful,
Roaring,
Building, breaking, rebuilding
Under the changing seasons. people complaining,
Laughing at the cold, sunny, chilling laughter of a small town, spirited,
Proud to be survivor of season, footballer, maker of new school, players of tiger and movie goers.
