There comes a man defeated in mind,
Unsure like a dog tail tucked to the hind,
And what ere was an opportune op door,
O looks to him a distant shore.
Then comes a man believing in him,
Walking with lion's gait, sure, somewhat grim,
And what ere was a door closed shut in face,
Looks to him a sure shot— a tennis ace,
All odds-against fought away to deuce,
Then to advantage, all don'ts into dos!

Thank you Dr Tony Brahmin, you have dug out something from deep sea. For more than six years no one cared to see, and you have now spotted it. It may not be a rare pearl, but may be a semi-precious stone.
