The Racket Works Hard

Quick step side step,
Backwards and forwards.

Points build up and the audience watches,
Fits clench when the advantage is yours,
It’s all about winning second does not matter.

The crowd still applauds whether you win or lose,
Head held high or head held low.

You have given it your all,
No more can be done,
How you walk home depends on you
