Notes About The Poem

Steffi Graf's Autograph

I went to the zoo to feed a giraffe 
Brought some chocolates to the staff
Chatted and had a good laugh
Told them my dream was to meet Steffi Graf 
See if I could obtain her autograph
And beg her for a photograph
So I’d print a humongous lithograph
‘Top tennis pro’ as epigraph

A most enjoyable monorhyme, Line. Steffi Graf used to be a favourite of mine. Had she wanted to she could easily have extended her tennis career. ~ Regards // paul

Hi Paul. I heard she had debilitating back problems. She was my fave by far. Not that I watch that much tennis so that not be fair to current pros...
