Neon Pink

Tennis players once wore white – 
A snobby rule, I think – 
But how that’s changed! I guess that’s why
Here’s Federer in pink.

In truth, the pink is just a trim
To jazz his shirt and shorts.
His sneakers, though, might be a slight
Distraction on the courts.

I’m all for chic diversity
When tennis is in town,
But Roger, here is my advice – 
Tell Nike – tone it down!
