The game of Squash, two players hitting the ball against the wall with the sender of the ball trying to pass the reciever

No oranges here, on the court of green glass

watch as the white ball in the air, it will pass

to the player, who’s aim is to receive – off the wall

the serve, from the sender – in effect – its the ball

And the players will strain their muscles and joints

all to achieve those important points

so as racquet hits ball, and the wall answers back

the opponent tries to defend the senders attack

But each has to give room

or else they will get

The umpire recalling

a point with a let!
