To Challenge

In tennis, you challenge a call If you're sure of the way that the ball Hit the line or did not For, what happens a lot Is the linesman missed where it did fall. It's like Googling somebody's "fact" If belief in a statement you lacked. You may prove him quite wrong If you knew all along That the odds in your favor were stacked. Yet in tennis, those options are few So if somebody's view is askew And you've used your last chance Then, despite your best glance There is naught you can do but to stew.

A challenge to challenge, so tell me what's new. :) In most games in life there is no review. But reading a limy that so entertains. I think is the answer to who truly reigns. Hi ilene. I just deleted what I just wrote. It was kinda clever, but kinda a crass note. :) I hope you are enjoying the summer.

I see that you are well versed in tennis rules...and in Limerick ones, too Ilene:) The female singles final is on at Wimbledon at the moment; hope you're enjoying it! Regards // paul

It's all part of the game, Mrs Ilene. Hopefully the linesman has good eyesight:)
