Ode to Tennis
So I said that I was going to be blogging every other day… HAHAHAHA! Who was I kidding? Now that I’m back teaching, AND coaching both my sons basketball teams, AND with the St. Timothy Carnival around the corner, PLUS running as I continue to train for my races, who’s got time to blog? The average person would then chime in and say… “Dude, just blog for 10 minutes, man.” To which I would respond, “You haven’t read my blogs, have you? It takes me 10 minutes to write the intro to my daily dissertations!” So, please forgive me if my blogs show up infrequently. Today I don’t have much time (though it’s more than I’ve had in the last 2 weeks), so I will just give you a small poem inspired by the U.S. Open currently being played in Flushing Meadows. Enjoy!
Ode to Tennis
Oh tennis how I love thee.
I do love you so
And not just because to you
Love means Ze-ro.
Your players are outstanding
They run from here to there
And the women play in clothes
That look like undwerwear.
Two players who are really good
Are Roger and Rafael
I like one more than the other
For reasons I will tell.
Rafael Nadal
I don’t like his style at all
I prefer Roger Federer
I think he’s so much betterer!
