PostPoems Be Artistic. Be Creative. Be Inspired!

As I was skimming the obits today

I noticed a man who passed away

His name? Jeff Webb, and one thing's clear

He transformed the world of cheer

Though many cheers sound so repetitive 

Jeff Webb made cheering more competitive 

Watch a high school student, still a teen

Performing tumbles and jumps, part of their routine 

For that you have Jeff Webb to thank 

But today, my heart has sank

Because Jeff Webb's no longer here

Today, I don't have much to cheer
