Club house not facing the courts.
At the Club
At Totteridge Tennis Club it's my desire
To play awesome tennis that will inspire,
But in reality all I can aspire
Is to lose gracefully whilst I perspire.
My backhand’s derisory
My winners-count miserly
And multiple shots fly into the trees
Yet I’m undismayed by my inexpertise
As although my shot-making's not something to treasure,
Friendly fellow-players make each game a great pleasure.
And with affable bar-staff not far down the road
My club feels akin to a second abode.
I relish the chances I take to sup
such sumptuous dinners as are served up
to the winners and losers many a time,
well-deserving of mention within this rhyme.
I return to my tennis club week after week,
knowing full-well that I may never peak
to reach heights in my dreams I aspire to be:
A rare blend of Becker, Borg and Agassi.
But at least for now I am able to speak
Of the leafy locale for the strong and the weak
That, nestling in parkland off Great Bushey Drive,
Keeps all of our Wimbledon dreams alive!
