Wimbledon is wonderful to watch
English lawns
Tennis whites
Stars of centre court
Athleticism
Drama and drop shots
I’ve just been watching
Emma Raducanu
Beautiful sensation on the grass
Trouble was I wanted her to win
Which means I couldn’t sit still
(On my) for a minute
Wanting things too much
Causes all the trouble
Can’t stay calm
Have to move about
Hide behind the door frame
Hope she gets the point
Wait a moment
Peep and check it out
My sister Tricia
Has the same affliction
Wanting it so much
She can’t sit still
Well Emma won today
She won’t go all the way
Not yet at least
But oh boy can she play!
