A poetic news spin recap, about Ana Ivanovic's bathroom break which could've cost her the quarter-finals Generali Ladies.
What’s that I hear?
The sound of the Pepto Bismol commercial,
“Nausea, heartburn, indigestion,
upset stomach, diarrhea”
Playing on Austria’s tennis court?
Yep, that’s right!
Instead of playing the game of tennis
Ana Ivanovic plays the Pepto Bismol tune!
She delivers her first serve
Game point 1-0, Ana
When Mother Nature’s bathroom call
Sends her running down the locker hall!
Ana Ivanovic politely asks the chair umpire,
To grant her bathroom break privileges
But is denied opportunity for bladder control
Told “…do it on your own time…”
But she has already arrived
At the “I need to go now!” junction bridge
So blame it on miscommunication, if you will
She felt sick, so Ana “does it on her own time”
Upon returning to the court
Ana soon comes to learn
She’s been docked four points per 20 seconds
For staying locked up in the lavatory cavern
Using the eruption of indigestion
A fire of frustration builds up inside
Motivation ensues from this time violation
Not allowing it to disrupt her concentration
And in the end, Ana wins the match,
Against Barbora Zahlavova Strycova,
Six-three, six-two
Advancing to quarter-finals of the Generali Ladies
Though she faced extreme embarrassment
What difference does it make now
That she answered Mother Nature’s call
To relieve her bodily functions
In the ladies’ restroom down the hall?
