/// Neandritha returns every serve.
She can hit balls with spin so they curve.
She has power and aim,
but her main claim to fame:
Her foes forfeit from losing their nerve.
/// After taking one look at her face,
they rush off of the court in disgrace.
There’s no “love;” no one scores.
They all run for the doors
at the sound of her voice, which is bass.
/// She is probably dressed up too “posh”
to be playing a brisk game of squash.
That round mark at her hip,
(from the bad racquet grip
of her foe), may come out in the wash.
/// But she gave just as good as she got.
That opponent was floored by her shot
which caromed off the wall,
hit his face, made him fall,
and produced a black eye and a knot.
/// Alexandra was left at the altar
when Maud (bridesmaid) ran off with (groom) Walter.
The bride picked up a racquet.
Went on the attack. (It
was swung at Maud’s head to assault her.)
