Wimbledon 2013


Greyhound of the grass,
chasing down lost causes,
serving and sprinting and sliding,
a soft-handed, soft-hearted survivor.

Never give up,
son of Dunblane,
making angels smile.

British, Scottish, whatever you are
a superstar
not in it for the money,
shifting left, right, forward, back,
a human cursor tracking a ball
at will,
tenacious to win.

Let's go Andy;
lets come and go.

Turning round bad situations,
championship point drama king
of the court,
your history lesson
(a huge relief)
our children can believe in,
kindness in that smile,
golden boy
you made us proud.

    1. Hi Brian. Did have a new poem, but a glitch accidentally deleted it! A little bit frustrating as I couldn't remember most of it. (Sign of old age) David

  6. I saw the same thing! Then I came here and it was gone. I thought I must have dreamed it but if Brian saw the same thing I s'pose it wasn't a dream :)
