Net Rebound

My sneakers were itching for open pavement, so I zipped under the lobby doors and dashed straight to the neighborhood park! Right under the trees sat a heavy concrete ping-pong table with a green perforated steel net dividing the slab. Sitting loose on the white baseline was a lone orange ping-pong ball. Standing still on a runway? Not happening! I hit full sprint across the matte green surface, lined up my trajectory, and delivered a turbo drop-kick with my red sneaker. Boing! The hollow sphere blasted into the metal mesh with a rapid-fire pock-clack, ricocheted off the perforated holes, and bounced straight back into my waiting gloves. Solo rally cleared at record speed!
