Time For Tennis!
Swing the racquet
And thwack the ball:
Backhand drive -
It's thirty all.
Make the effort,
Run to the net,
Volley hard -
I've won the set!
My turn to serve,
Inside the line;
Breathing hard
The feeling's fine.
Dart to the left,
Ball curves away:
Skilful spin -
That's how to play |
Stretch the muscles
To reach up high.
Can I smash?
I miss! I sigh!
My legs are weak,
The ball’s like lead.
Visions of wine
Come into my head.
The clubhouse calls -
My friends are great:
Gossip and laugh,
We sit till late.
The sun has set:
The game was good.
Keeping fit?
I’ve understood!
