Petite vs. Brawny

They made it to the finals

Two women, age twenty-three

They walked on the court with confidence

The last game of District "B"

They faced their two opponents

Who barely reached the net

They didn't have the faintest idea

It would be their hardest game yet!

Jayme turned twelve the other day

Her little sister Kelly is only ten and a half

Now don't be fooled because of their size

They are very skilled at their craft

Birdies rallied, scores were tallied

The ladies took the first game

Jayme and Kelly won the second

And then an exciting third game

People gathered around to watch

This game of petite vs. brawny

Then Jayme and Kelly won the match!

And the pipsqueaks smiled broadly

The family gathered all around

Hugs and kisses for the winners

The newspapers wrote their story

And people took their pictures

So whether you are short or tall

Practice what you love to do

Dream your dreams really big

And make those dreams come true
