Love serving none

Ode to my tennis racket

By Jazzy Published 2 years ago 1 min read
My Blade (and I love so much)

swing and a miss

How hard it is to try

Without you by my side

They come in every shape and size

Almost like humans

You’re my perfect size

**

I’ll string you up.

With those knots and ties

We can’t be beat

Just me and my racket

I think it’s time we heat up

And get ready to smoke

Those who should come before us

Make them choke

***

My aluminum stick

An extension of me

Happens to be all that I need

Please give me the sun and a court

I’ll take you on

Just me and my racket

Love serving none

    Fun and quirky. Great job. Don’t think I’ve seen your name on here before so thought I’d read a couple. 🧐

    When the weather id bad, i go to the garage and play tennis off the wall. I love this ode, such a versatile weapon.
