The badminton court is empty
Steady rain has made the ground soggy
The net sags
Rackets lean against a tree
Shuttlecocks rest in the notch
The hammock is soaked
Volleyball, football, basketball, wiffle ball
Golf ball, tennis ball, soccer ball
Summer is over and we've had a ball
While civilization fell apart all around us
