Rapido Tennis - Sports Shorts Contest

Why am I running round this table
Getting sweaty and looking a sight
Someone said it would enable
Me to lose some weight, I hope they’re right

A tiny bat an even smaller ball
Goes flying past my head
Didn’t even see it, ref makes a call
Think I lost is what he said

Table tennis sounds so simple a game
I am hot and sweaty, plus ashamed to lose
Not gentile at all, should change its name
Rapido tennis  is the name I would choose
