Summer Fun

At age eleven, had a paper route My papers were dropped off about daylight I’d be waiting there when they arrived I’d fold them and delivery from my bike Then with my tennis racket on my bike I’d head for the park to play a fun sport My brother and some friends would be waiting That early we could always get a court I cherish this summer time memory Early morning tennis four times a week It made getting up less of a burden A fun time, following work, was just neat Later on I played tennis in high school I even joined the High School tennis team Enjoyed the sport in college and beyond But my “park tennis” memories reign supreme Composed Aug 30, 2012
