Two In a Row
The game headed into the final set
As the weary warrior stepped up to serve
If he won, it would be an upset
But he was just a bundle of nerves
His opponent was calmer overall
As his experience he did exalt
The player then served the ball...
The umpire shouted .."Fault!"
The crowd let out a gasp at this
Hoping he would not repeat
But the second serve he did miss
He suffered the "agony of defeat"
