Foe

Written by C Hues

Yet to win a major, yet nothing minor about him—
Hyattsville hero has heart, humor, haste.
You can’t stop his tenacity; your chances are slim.
And watching him play is never a waste.

As he raises the racket,
He serves a mean one too fast for the average Joe.
And he raises the racket!
The crowd goes wild, as silence takes his foe.
