The Tennis Menace

Watching a tennis player who is on your side,

is frustrating when his shots are going wide.

Every shot he takes seems so important and when he misses,

 I'm in pieces.

Truthfully, I'd prefer to know the outcome and watch it later,

because all the swearing I do, requires a translator.

My heart keeps jumping into my mouth when it is close.

They really are brilliant these tennis pros.

But I'm on edge all the time,

when sometimes there is a mountain to climb.

Yet here I am, watching a match today.

And can I stop watching it....NO WAY!
