Santa's Christmas Tennis Match at Wimbledon

When Santa was flying over Wimbledon way,

He called off for strawberries, one Christmas day.

Unfortunately, he soon realised, that being still Winter, thete wasn't any,

So he looked what appetisers were on the menu - and there were many !

Pate on toast, or Sunday roast,

He liked the sound of the gateaux most!

He started off with prawn cocktail first....

The spaghetti bolognaise nearly made him burst...

The chicken supreme left him in a dream....

He munched on some crackers and finished off with ice cream !

He had to work all that off...

Perhaps a game of tennis would be enough ?

In court number one, watched by everyone,

Santa rushed about....then promptly won !

The crowd cheered - his elastic had snapped, he feared....

Just then, a friendly umpire appeared....

The umpire asked Santa to sign the ball,

Asked if he'd lost any weight at all ?

Santa replied, "Perhaps a pound or two...."

Which he soon put back on with a drink (and he had quite a few !)....

On Henman hill, the crowds were watching still....

The next match was due on soon and Santa waited till....

Venus Williams played - she was his favourite, in fact.

She hit the ball to Santa (and Santa hit it back !)
