ANGRY TENNIS POEM // Today I was at Channel Nine in Melbourne and in the makeup room was newsreader Peter Hitchener and Russell Morris, a well-known Australian singer and songwriter. Russell mentioned playing🎾 'angry tennis' and we all agreed that it was a great name for a song - so I got back to my desk and wrote this! Not to be taken too seriously! 😆 Angry Tennis Poem By Sue Ellson Text, audio and description at https://sueellson.com/blog/angry-tennis-poem I’ve lived a life on the road Always a long way from home But I take my racquet along with me And play whenever I am free It starts with a casual hit As I warm up and keep fit But then the inner demon comes out Angry tennis is what it’s about A serve that stretches A volley that skims the net A backhand that grunts on its own A forehand that’s sent with a groan Angry tennis Release me please Angry tennis My trauma release Angry tennis Is what I do Angry tennis Watch out you! As the score goes up and down My body finds its rhythm now I find myself at one with the game That inside voice is silent again Angry tennis Release me please Angry tennis My trauma release Angry tennis Is what I do Angry tennis Watch out you! #angrytennis #angrytennispoem #angrytennissong #SueEllson #SueEllsonPoem #poem #poetry
