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
