The shuttlecock, served,
Goes over the net.
I'll probably lose
The dollar I bet.
Over the net
It goes back and forth:
It goes north to south,
And it goes south to north.
The birdie in flight
Flits like a sparrow.
She hits it so hard
It darts like an arrow.
I smack it as hard
As I can possibly smack it,
And, wouldn't you know it,
It's stuck in my racquet.
