I can take pleasure in announcing my legs still work!
Perhaps not with the swiftness of a 14 year old,
But substantially faster than an old man’s stroll.
That leaves contact as an unresolved issue.
My shots tend toward the velocity
Of a four year old throwing a baseball,
Easily reached and often high enough
To allow for a solid smash from an opponent
Who need not move her feet.
My serve is equally hospitable.
Given my competitive nature it is hard adjusting
To the very welcoming nature of the other players.
If you can’t scream at the offending Gods
How are you to improve your stroke?
