Tea Time, Chaps

      Grunts, groans, grimaces
         suited to biceps and triceps

      Became the discourse of Wimbledon
         without becoming it one bit

Gershon, the only reason we can hear the grunts and groans is that no one else can mutter a sound lest they distract the nattily attired racketeers.
