An Ode to Serena

When everyone counted you out, Miss Williams, you proved them all wrong
You took two years off to expand your career and your horizons
And then everyone shitted on you.

So, you proceeded to enter the Australian Open, after taking "too much time off"
Unseeded, unranked, and dismissed as an effort that was too little and too late
And then you proceeded to dominate the field.

Not only did you win, but you embarrassed the number one seeded Sharapova
You not only beat her, but you put on a clinic
6-1, 6-2, the poor little Russian girl never had a chance.

So Miss Williams, we at Vane salute you
For defying the critics, for doing what you wanted
And then having the last laugh.

Fuck what people say
Self determination is everything.
Game on Serena. Game on.
