Tennis mood!

World over tennis lovers are a legion

They simply feast on the tennis diet

They are also a luckier lot

Never left high and dry

Year around tennis tournaments

Cater to them with choicest tennis cuisine

On different surfaces hard, clay and grass

Their love for tennis is fabulous

Keeps growing for which no stops

When majors get underway it simply tops

Their love is not blind

They see, they love!

When it’s time for U.S, Australian,

French opens , Wimbledon

It’s time for big matches

Coming alive on TV screen

Bringing courts in close quarters

To see their much awaited

Macho Tennis stars in action,

Slugging it out on the sprawling courts

Running around corner to corner

Baseline to net, forth and back

With power packed back and fore hands

Whipping out aces, cross court, down the

Line winners, the lobs, the drop shots

The players turn just darlings

Of the tennis fans awestruck

By their power and poise

Grace and style,

The players are in tennis mode

The fans are in tennis mood!

Many have learnt tennis

Just by watching not by playing

They mimick the players serving

Rallying ,serve and volleying, killing the ball dead

By deft shots, that’s slam bang tennis!

The grand game of tennis goes on

The tennis fans love for tennis too!

The tennis mood catches on marches on!
