Love Match

'He is quite a catch,' she thought,
as they stepped out on the court.
When he served, new balls, she volleyed

Though she first enjoyed the sport,

'til she told it to the court
that his backhands and his forearm smash
were frightful.

that 'love' always comes to nought,
and sometimes sport is really quite
insightful
