Tennis at the LTC:

All summer we play tennis with friends

 

On sunny days that we hope have no ends

 

At the LTC in the heart of the park

 

Where many players like you have left their mark

 

Its not the score nor the one who swore

 

That encourages us to play more , until our muscles are sore

 

So Lets play tennis

 

As we won’t cause a menace

 

We'll play all day

 

Starting in May

 

We will focus on returns

 

So we don’t get the burns

 

As for the serve

 

It will take some nerve

 

Remember most swing in a hurry

 

So it’s the volleys that should worry

 

And lets have no lobs unless we're old

 

Or too young to be told

 

As for the seniors, we won’t play at night

 

As we can’t see to fight

 

We'll play at noon

 

And create a big boon

 

Throughout the season where we love it all

 

Just for the chance to whack that wily yellow ball
