Tall girls, with big serves
Can seem to over power
But a feel for touch and timing
And your name is Ons Jabeur
Can turn that on its head
Remember battleship Bismarck
Armed with guns of thunder
Till a biplane’s torpedo
Blew its plans asunder
Instead
It’s David and Goliath
The giant and the boy
The roaring force brought to earth
By a sling just like a toy
Him dead
All games require tactics
Power can be brought to nought
Use imagination
Use the power of thought
Said Fred
I celebrate a player
Her name is Ons Jabeur
Win or lose I think she’s great
One day will see her hour
All ahead
