Joseph May Poet Quatrain

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"
