a poem about tennis

at wimbledon
what an atmosphere
all those strawberries
all those balls
balls damn balls and statistics
how much would you pay
for a ticket you fair weather carpet licking mug?
traditionally we suck
at a game we invented
a man called roger
from switzerland
so cool under pressure
debonair and graceful
gazelle-like
ninja-esque
won so many times
was garnered with a cow
quiet please
there's a new buck on the scene
he's from scotland
and he really wants to win
not for a cow
or a goat or even a bear
but with all that prize money
he could certainly
if he wanted to
have his own zoo
