Ilene Bauer Poet Rhyme

Centre Court

Centre Court in England 
Would take center stage in Queens.
The placement of the e and r
Revels the way one leans.

The same applies to colors.
Seems that Brits are very fond 
Of that u that colors do not have
On this side of the pond.

I recognize these differences 
(In Britain recognise)
Should cause no offense/ offence
In any English speaker’s eyes.

Jan Allison July 7, 2023 at 11:38 AM I agree and humour has an extra U in it in the British spelling, U have to have a sense of humour with these differences. enjoy Wimbledon, I know you have the ideal reason to rest up with your broken arm! hugs jan xx
