Just watching the tennis on tv, seems to have lost some of its attraction.

Tennis Knickers

I really love my sport mate
I'll watch any game you care to call
gymnastics, running, swimming
yeah I enjoy both one and all.

A real arm chair participant
I can sit and watch them all perform.
I suppose some folks would call me
a bloody Aussie arm chair Norm.

Now I love to watch the tennis
a game with which I can romance.
but can someone tell me where they went
the womens players frilly pants.

Oh now please don't get me wrong
I watch because the skill is number one
but there always was that extra bonus
a flash of frilly knickers when they'd run.

Now all you see is girls in bike pants
build to put a man to shame.
You could put the men and girls together
as they almost look the same.

Oh they are playing better tennis
and their skills get better every day.
The shots are most incredible
be they on grass or hardened clay.

And for the dollars they can earn now
when they make the seedings card
the way they dress is sensible
when they play the game so hard.

But as I sit and watch them playing
as they serve and smash and run
despite all the skills I'll always miss
that flash of knickers in the sun.

Serena Williams doesn't wear frilly knickers, but she doesn't exactly look like a bloke either!

They make up for the lack of frilly knickers (don't remember Billy Jean King, Bob) for the Russian 'Grunters'. Just put the tennis on, have a few rumbo's, turn the picture down and use your imagination.

Marty, don't encourage him dear....

And don't get me started on the women tucking the ball up under their knickers and then taking it out and serving it to the other players and the ball boys!!!! Yuck.

It is a wonder WHS allows that.


Bob

I don't watch much tennis, Bob . . . do they tuck the ball up the front, or the back?

Oh dear - sigh - sick puppies

Shut up Marty my guts are hurting.

They tuck them up the side Marty but with all the sweat ect it must be unhealthy.

Bob

Is it too late to get a refund on my ticket do you think ?
