It's just another game,
just another day.
I may not see the shuttlecock
when it's comeing my way
but that won't stop me,
i'll clear the birdie to the back of the court anyway.
with the battledore
we are called agressive.
our serving is not impressive.
but with the racket and the birdie,
Barry & I
can play a mean game of Badmitten

haha Thanks. but the poem is all true. about 80% of the time, I couldn't see the birdie when it was comeing towards me. I just swung and happened to hit it lol. and the other people in my class would always say we were aggressive in this game.

haha, this is very good! I especially like the sense of humor and the way you can almost hear you talk behind the poem. Great job!
