The balls in your court!

The Balls' in your court!

Can't play -

Not at all!

Cannot see

A bright green lime

Tennis Ball!

Backwards, upwards, sideways -

(Miss it always.....)

And yet

Am very good

At aiming for the net!

It has to be said

It's over my head!

Would rather

Let you play

A decent game instead!

It's too low or too high

Or just too fast

For my naked eye!

Think this is all a racket

And can't be bothered

To try and whack it!

Would rather be umpire

My tennis is dire!

Alas!

Am distraught

But have to say

The balls' in your court.
