"Minus 75" in your opinion, Amos - others have subscibed to my myspace blog and praised, at least, some of my verses. And, whilst many of my poems (but probably not the following one) may be old-hat to the likes of you, God knows how many new people are arriving at Mudcat and this thread.

Watching the Australian Open on T.V., the following distractions have been happening far too often, sadly; and, indeed, security have just ejected a "fan"...

Poem 222 of 230: FROM THE MINORITY

More-and-more at tennis tournaments,
    Cheap-shots drop from somewhere in the crowd:
A whistle during a service-toss,
    Or, in rallies, calls of "out" out loud.

All these events have security,
    So, if goons try such to dupe a win,
Perhaps umpires should ask a guard
    To watch the area of the sin.
