A Ninth Intrudes

Forsake ye old traditions.
Abandon times of yore.
The music's key is changing
As dancers take the floor.

The stage, ablaze in brightest light
As curtains part from view;
Auditions begin on this night
For Starlight's grand revue.

As eight compete for high acclaim,
Ambitions stretching far,
A ninth intrudes on their routine,
And aims to be the brightest star.
