J-ust defeat the lethal link,
E-mploy the medical doctors;
R-efrain from making contact,
R-ight result will be
Y-ours.
N-otorious nastiness of virus
I-s going to silently sink;
C-ommunity quarantine will be lifted,
O-nce you defeat the lethal
L-ink.

August 28th in Hong Kong Open Squash Championship...
Nicol losing semifinals in Hong Kong, not surprising at all...
What's surprising is her steely determination to excel once more...
For a retriever like her, the writing has been on the wall...
The lowered tin favors attacking players, the emerging younger ones...
They whack and demand winners with each hit at the ball...
Nicol with her aging legs and defensive play overall...
Why, she can win and beat some of these young pretenders to her crown...
But it is impossible that Nicol can be as successful as she was before...
People, we are lucky witnesses today the fading of squash undisputed queen...
Ouch! It hurts but the truth is out there in plain sight...
We are witnessing the fading of squash once brightest light....
A POEM OF LOVE HAHAHA
I want to write a loving poem
or a letter of my past loves,
but then I find surprisingly,
it's me I'm thinking of.
I'm so cute , that I can't stand it,
it gets me to the bone,
while standing at a mirror,
I ask to take me home,
I try to play real hard to get,
I try real hard you see,
But how can I resist myself,
while looking there at me. hahahaha
