0382 Sportsman Lacks Ship

Rating: 0.5


He's just won the tennis match;
walks up to the net,
shakes hands with his opponent
but his eyes don't follow

now they're off to the umpire's chair;
he reaches up, shakes hands
as if he's tipping the doorman,
eyes elsewhere

he may have won the match
but he's lost my vote.
At least politicians have the nerve
to look you in the eye.

Very true Michael. Bad sportsmanship is a real pet hate of mine. I like the simplicity of this. Great write. Hugs Anna xxx
